Saving Your Tooth

Root canal therapy is a dental procedure that is performed to save a tooth that has become infected or severely decayed. The procedure involves removing the infected or damaged tissue from the inside of the tooth, cleaning the root canals, and then filling and sealing the tooth to prevent further infection.
The root canal is part of the tooth that contains the pulp, which is made up of nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. When the pulp becomes infected or damaged, it can cause severe pain and discomfort, and if left untreated, it can lead to abscesses, bone loss, and even tooth loss.

Safe & Effective Root Canal Therapy

Root Canal Therapy by Dr. Montgomery is the safest and most effective way to save an infected or damaged tooth. While the procedure has a reputation for being painful, modern techniques and anesthesia make the procedure no more uncomfortable than a typical filling.

Your dentist will use specialized tools to remove the infected or damaged tissue from the tooth's root canals, clean the canals thoroughly, and then fill and seal the tooth to prevent further infection. Once the root canal is complete, the professionals at our dental office may place a crown or other restoration on the tooth to protect it and restore its function. With proper care, a tooth that has had a root canal can last a lifetime, allowing patients to keep their natural teeth and avoid more extensive and expensive dental procedures.
