Root Canal Therapy

If you have a serious toothache and you don't know why, the tooth may suffer from internal damage. Inside every tooth runs a nerve, also called the pulp of the tooth. This sensitive tissue can become damaged, infected, and painful. A root canal can save an internally damaged tooth from extraction.

If Dr. Ryan suggests a root canal, he'll explain the procedure and answer all of your questions to help you make an informed decision. In root canal therapy, the pulp within a tooth's canal is removed, along with the infection that causes pressure and pain. In place of the pulp, Dr. Ryan places a manmade material that will preserve the integrity of the tooth. Usually, the tooth is crowned, as well. With conservative, minimally-invasive procedures and modern anesthesia, root canals can be comfortable and highly effective.
