When Would I Need Root Canal Treatment?

A root canal is a treatment to repair and save a badly damaged or infected tooth instead of removing it. The term “root canal” comes from cleaning the canals inside a tooth’s root. Decades ago, root canal treatment was often painful. With dental advances and local anesthetics, most people have little, if any, pain with a root canal. In fact, it’s probably more painful living with a decayed tooth. Root canal alternatives include extracting the damaged tooth and replacing it with a dental implant, bridge, or removable partial denture.

At Triadent Dental, we use state-of-the-art equipment to deliver the best care possible, including:

• Ultrasonic system, for deep cleaning of the tooth.
• Digital x-rays, for minimal radiation.
