Root Canal Treatment
When is a root canal necessary?
Sometimes infection from a cavity or from trauma can get into the tooth and into the bone. If the tooth can be fixed, Dr. Munger may recommend root canal treatment in order to save the tooth. The pain that you may be experiencing comes from infection that is below the gums in the bone and inside the tooth. When that happens, the only treatment that can save your tooth from an extraction is a root canal. Root canal treatment is very safe and with modern techniques and materials, extremely comfortable for the patient. If you are experiencing tooth pain, come let one of our doctors evaluate it and see if you need a root canal to save your tooth and return you to oral health!
