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.

I had an excellent first experience at Ingleside Dental. The cleaning and filling performed today was painless and the staff was very attentive to my needs. They fixed a damaged front tooth and gave me confidence in my smile once again. I have follow up appointments for additional work, and I’m confident that they will take care of all my dental needs!!

My mom doesn’t speak English, and she needed an urgent molar extraction (#2 molar) due to severe pain. When I called Ingleside Family Dental, where she is a patient and Dr. Mathew was amazing and offered to come at early the following day. They provided next-day care and were incredibly patient, making sure my mom felt comfortable even with the language barrier. The procedure was quick and professional, and the staff made sure I understood everything so I could explain it to her. Thanks to Dr. Mathew and the team, my mom is recovering well. I’m so grateful for their kindness and expertise — highly recommend them!

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Mathew at Ingleside Family Dental! I was in severe pain and needed urgent care, and they were able to see me the very next morning by coming to the clinic at 6 am before all the other patients. Dr. Mathew was so compassionate and professional—she made the whole experience of having my #2 molar removed surprisingly easy. The procedure was quick, efficient, and practically painless, and I felt genuinely cared for every step of the way. The whole team was friendly, and the office had a welcoming, calm atmosphere that made a tough situation much better. If you’re in need of a dentist who truly prioritizes patient care and efficiency, look no further than Dr. Mathew and Ingleside Family Dental! Highly recommend!
