With root canal treatment, Dr. O’Connell can remove your infected dental pulp, which prevents the infection from worsening and also addresses the cause of your tooth pain. Call us immediately if you have a severe toothache and suspect that you may need root canal treatment in Califon soon.
Why Choose Califon Dental Arts for Root Canal Treatment?
What Happens During a Root Canal?
During a root canal treatment, we will create a small hole in your tooth. Then we will take out the infected pulp before we carefully clean the tooth’s inner chambers. Once we’re sure that no harmful bacteria are remaining, the tooth will be re-filled and re-sealed. Note that a local anesthetic will be used to keep your mouth numb, so you are comfortable, for the duration of your root canal treatment. Furthermore, a dental crown will likely be necessary to keep the tooth safe.
