Root Canal Treatment

Root Canal Treatment
Endodontic therapy (root canals) are important restorative procedures that can help you preserve a badly damaged or infected tooth. They are the last line of defense in tooth restoration before having the tooth completely removed. Choosing a root canal allows you to retain your natural tooth for several more years, or even a lifetime!
Sleep Through Your Root Canal
A root canal is like a filling that extends into the nerve chamber of your tooth. They are necessary when you have a tooth with:
An abscess
Severe tooth decay or fractures
Evidence of a dying nerve
Severe pain
A cracked root
While root canals aren’t necessarily uncomfortable, they can sometimes last a long time (especially on back teeth, which have more roots.) That’s why we offer convenient sedation options like laughing gas and general anesthesia to our patients. You can simply “nap” right through your dental appointment while everything is taken care of.
If your tooth is sensitive to hot, cold, pressure or has an abscess, or if you or your loved ones are suffering from receding or bleeding gums, call Sleep Dentistry of Spokane to schedule an exam.
