root canals

Root canals are performed when decay or infection damages the nerve of the tooth. Root canal therapy preserves the tooth by removing decay, bacteria and nerves. The space where this material is removed is then filled with medicated dental materials to eliminate pain and restore the function of the treated tooth.

Root canals enable dentists to save teeth that would otherwise need to be removed, due to decay and infection. This is an important treatment option, since removing teeth is a more costly solution and often results in problems for the teeth surrounding the tooth that was extracted.

Root canal treatment is generally a very successful procedure for most patients and the tooth is preserved in most cases. Root canals often last for a lifetime, but if a new infection occurs, additional treatment may be required.

We’re committed to patient comfort throughout any and all procedures we perform, which is why we offer a range of sedation options. Consider learning more about our oral conscious sedation dentistry, a method which allows the patient to be awake throughout an entire procedure without experiencing any pain or discomfort.

We offer conscious sedation for all kinds of procedures, but its not the only type of sedation we can provide. To learn more about the sedation methods Moore & Pascarella makes available to patients, click here.
