Tooth Extractions
A tooth extraction is carefully and safely performed whenever necessary for the health of your smile. A dentist may perform a tooth extraction to prepare for orthodontic treatment or remove an impacted or severely decayed tooth. Sedation dentistry is available for extractions to help you feel relaxed and at ease throughout your appointment and to also block sensations of discomfort. If you are in need of a tooth extraction, our team can examine your smile, perform x-rays if needed and offer the best solutions for your needs.
Root Canal Therapy
When decay or a crack allows infection to reach the pulp, dentists perform root canal therapy to save the tooth from extraction. This treatment helps preserve a natural tooth that has an infection and can help it last for many more years. Your dentist will perform root canal therapy by carefully removing all signs of infection and decay inside the tooth and also removing the infected pulp of the tooth. The dentist then cleans and seals the tooth. Following a root canal treatment, the dentist typically places a tooth filling or dental crown to restore the tooth’s function and appearance. Root canals often help save your teeth from requiring extraction and end toothache and pain almost immediately.
Signs of a Tooth Infection:
- Persistent Toothache
- Tooth Sensitivity to Hot & Cold Temperatures
