Root Canal Therapy
The words root canal therapy create anxiety. Coworkers, relatives and “friends” like to out-do each other and tell scary stories. In truth root canal treatment is safe, effective and comfortable.
Roman Dental is comfort-focused. This dentist uses lots of anesthetic and is patient – allowing time for the tooth to get numb providing for a very comfortable visit. After patients receive root canal therapy, they remark about how much better they feel. One patient commented: “this root canal was the best. It was like throwing water on the fire that was my toothache.”
Root canal is also known as endodontic therapy. Treatment simply involves removing inflamed tissue from the hollow center of a tooth.
Just as a candle has a wick in it’s core, a tooth root has a “wick area” that contains nervous tissue. If that tissue is inflamed it often results in sensitivity, pain or swelling. Endodontic treatment removes that nervous tissue, disinfects the tooth and eliminated the source of discomfort.
Tooth Extractions
We all understand that there’s no great substitute that can compare to healthy natural teeth, which is why we always discuss prevention and treatment.
Teeth should last a lifetime. However, in many situations teeth need to be removed. Bad teeth cause discomfort and spread bacterial decay to healthy neighboring teeth. Many people take great care of their teeth. But, because of diet, drugs, illness, injury or genetic bias their teeth are weak and may require extraction. Whatever the case – we are here to help. Roman Dental delivers comfortable surgical care. They provide single tooth extractions, full mouth denture treatments and implant supported tooth replacement options. Additionally, this office removes impacted wisdom teeth to prevent infections and tooth crowding.
If a tooth is removed, Roman Dental can replace it with a dental implant, a dental bridge or a removable appliance. In every case, our team will offer treatment choices, discuss the cost and benefits of each option and then let you decide. This office provide good communication in an open stress-free environment. Importantly, this dentist loves to help and has the goal of providing life-long dental health.
