Why Kennesaw area patients may require root canal treatment

Woman to the Dentist, Root Canal Treatment Kennesaw

Root canal treatment. When Kennesaw area patients hear these words, they are often anxious about their upcoming dental procedure. However, at 32 Dental, Drs. Lan Vo and Sean Breckley can put patients at ease and help them understand that there are several benefits to having this procedure done. Additionally, they use proper sedation and anesthetics to ensure optimum comfort throughout the treatment. In less than an hour, most patients will be able to leave the dental office pain free and have their problem addressed with this effective, safe, and highly desirable treatment.

What is root canal treatment?

Root canal treatment removes the inner pulp that houses the tissues, blood supply, and nerves of the tooth. Pain is what often brings our patients in for an examination, and root canal treatment is the answer. The only alternative to root canal therapy is extraction of the tooth, which is never the way to go unless absolutely necessary. If the tooth is beyond repair, this may be suggested, but only as a last chance effort to bring the smile back to health and functionality.

What might result in the need for root canal therapy?

Toothaches are often the first indication of a problem. Patients come into our practice for an evaluation to determine why they are in pain. During the examination, the dentist will often find an issue within the tooth which may be a large cavity, infection, or disease that has reached the dental pulp. The two options available are root canal therapy or extraction. Root canal therapy is often the first choice over extraction and restoration.
