Root Canals in Central Arkansas
When your teeth become decayed or infected, this can cause a major problem with your oral health. With the help of Dr. Clark and a root canal treatment, your teeth can be saved. Root canal therapy is needed when the nerve inside the tooth damages or infects the pulp of the tooth. This damage can occur from decay, but also from trauma, clenching, and/or grinding.
If you are experiencing any possible symptoms, Dr. Clark will recommend a treatment that gets rid of the diseased pulp. The infected pulp is removed and the root canal system is then cleaned thoroughly and sealed. This treatment procedure will involve local anesthesia and may be completed in one or multiple visits depending on how extensive the required treatment is.
Get Proactive in Treating Your Root Canal
A root canal has the reputation of being a painful and long procedure. However, this is not the case. Most who receive the treatment will report that a root canal is no more painful than having a regular filling replaced. The pain being reported is actually the ache of the nerve before the actual procedure takes place. By being proactive in your dental health, consulting with your dentist and being knowledgeable about the signs you may need a root canal can save you time and money, in addition to sparing you from pain.
