Commonly called a root canal, this is often recommended if the tooth pulp and nerves become infected or damaged, usually caused by injury or untreated cavities. To restore the health of the tooth and avoid the need for extraction, the infected tissues from deep within the tooth are removed, and the tooth is filled with a medicated material. A crown is then placed to restore the tooth to its original shape. Contrary to popular misconceptions, root canal therapy can often be completed with minimal discomfort thanks to advanced techniques, tools, and anesthesia. Our dentist and team at New Horizon Dental, PLLC strive to provide you with a pleasant and comfortable experience.
