Root Canal Therapy

When tooth infection and decay has gone untreated for some time, the interior of the tooth can become compromised. This infection can cause serious discomfort for patients and eventually kill the tooth, requiring extraction. Sometimes a tooth can be saved from an extraction by using root canal therapy. If there is a good chance that we can save a permanent tooth, our dentist will recommend this treatment before an extraction. Root canal therapy is an effective treatment that has helped save many teeth and preserve them for years to come!

What Is Root Canal Therapy?

Whenever decay is found in a tooth early, the decay can be removed easily in most cases and a tooth can be preserved with a filling. However, if decay spreads throughout the tooth it will put the tooth at greater risk of needing an extraction. If the decay in the tooth reaches the pulp inside of the tooth, it can cause pain and infection. This often needs to be treated in order to save the tooth from extraction. Root canal therapy is a treatment that removes all of the decay and infection from within a tooth without removing the tooth itself. With root canal therapy, your dentist will make sure you are completely comfortable before beginning treatment with sedation and anesthetic. Then all signs of decay and infection will be removed from inside and out of the tooth. The tooth will be cleaned and the health preserved. A dental crown will be needed to cover and protect the tooth following this procedure. Typically, when the right procedure is performed, patients experience an end to their tooth pain and can return to a normal lifestyle again.

Prevent Infection

Regular dental check-ups can help you avoid root canal therapy and tooth extractions. By seeing your dentist on a regular basis, your teeth and gums can constantly be checked for decay and infection. When caught early, you can avoid these complications all together.

Update: Another smooth visit. Could not recommend more!

Convenient hours and office location. I went there for a second opinion on a complicated issue and stayed for keeping up and cleaning and fillings.

The dentist, Dr. Mathew, is caring, honest and extremely qualified, unlike the other dentists who exaggerated what the amount of work. I wish I had switched sooner.

My hygienist is extremely experienced thorough and simply awesome - she does such an amazing job!

The only place in North Charleston/Ladson that I seriously highly recommend.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the kind words Lyudmyla. We appreciate you taking your time to share your experience with us. We look forward to seeing you in your future visits with us. Thank you.

Edit: it has been almost four years Dr. Matthews is taking care of me. I love the compliment professional service I receive from this practice. No problems whatsoever. She sees potential problems and proactively takes care of them and my teeth health has been excellent.
Long story short: Dr. Mathews literally saved my life.
Long story: During pandemic, I found Ingelside family dental from a well respected friend of mine. My dentist had closed at the time. None of the dentists till then have detected any cavities either. During my first appointment I was pleasantly surprised at the length Ingelside went to take precautions for safety during pandemic. In the first visit Dr. Mathews detected three cavities, one I have had suspicion about myself. She took care of two of them, and asked me to consult an oral surgeon to remove one wisdom tooth with serious decay. I said yes, and it was pandemic and promptly ignored her advice. Come 2021, I had a series of health issues, including old sport injuries waking up. To the extent I spent almost 1k on orthro and other remedies, while Dr. Mathews literally asking me to take care of that tooth. When she saw what I filled up about my new problems, she suggested it might all be worked out as serious inflammation can cause old injuries hurt. She and her office made all arrangements to get my tooth extraction, and Viola all my problems disappeared. I am now able to enjoy my life without wincing in my joint pains. Thank you Ingelside family dental!
