Let's C U Smile Dentistry offers advanced endodontic treatment, including root canal therapy, to address dental infections and preserve your natural teeth. If you're experiencing symptoms such as toothache, sensitivity to hot or cold, or gum swelling, you may require root canal therapy. This procedure becomes necessary when a dental infection reaches the pulp chamber of the tooth, causing nerve damage and eventual tooth death. In the past, extraction was the only solution for such cases, but with modern dental technology, Dr. Haynes can now save infected teeth with virtually pain-free root canal therapy.

The root canal procedure typically spans two appointments. During the initial visit, Dr. Haynes relieves the abscess, removes the damaged nerve, and applies medication to alleviate infection. In the follow-up appointment, the tooth's root is shaped and filled to prevent future bacterial infiltration. Although the tooth loses its blood supply post-treatment, it can become weakened over time, necessitating additional protection with a post and crown. With Let's C U Smile Dentistry's expert endodontic care, you can preserve your natural smile and enjoy long-term dental health.
