What is a Root Canal?

It is a dreaded word for many people. The nerves located within the teeth may get hurt due to trauma or tooth decay. The pain in the tooth gradually increases. If left untreated, the infection can occur. It could then lead to tooth loss. During such scenarios, an endodontist may recommend root canal treatment.

Root Canal Treatment by Sam Spence D.D.S

Our root canal procedure by endodontists focuses on removing the bacteria located within the canal space of the tooth. The canals are shaped using special tools. To clean the canal, we make use of special rinses. A rubber-like material is then used for filling the canal. To avoid pain, we use a local anesthetic to make the tooth numb. Even though the process takes longer than a filling, patients are assured of the best results. Our dentists also advise you about the tips that need to be followed upon completing the root canal procedure. We make use of modern tools that make use of the latest technology while performing the root canal procedure.

So if you have a toothache that persists or wants to know more about the root canal treatment, give us a call, and the Abilene dentist will be happy to help you.
