Root Canals

— American River Dental

Always Try To Save Your Natural Teeth

A cavity that has been left untreated can become larger. Once the cavity reaches the pulp of the tooth, an infection forms at the base of the root canal, causing an abscess. This abscess is generally painful and will need to be removed with a root canal procedure. We will always try to save your natural teeth before discussing tooth replacement alternatives such as dental implants.

If you have any questions about how you can have a healthy, attractive smile like many of our other patients, please contact us today.

Root canal treatment

A root canal may be needed if the decay has reached the tooth’s nerve.

The main goal of this procedure is to preserve the baby tooth, since baby teeth help to maintain adequate room for the permanent teeth.
