Root Canals
When the inside of the tooth becomes infected, a root canal can return health and function, thereby saving the natural tooth from extraction. During a root canal, Dr. Elmore cleans out the diseased pulp and replaces it with a man-made substance. With modern methods and anesthesia, root canal therapy is more comfortable than ever before.
If you’re experiencing tooth pain, you should seek immediate treatment, as a root canal can alleviate your discomfort. If left untreated, the infection will eventually kill the tooth, and it will have to be extracted and replaced with a prosthetic. A root canal is a fairly straightforward procedure that Dr. Elmore can perform in a single visit to our state-of-the-art dental office. For advanced cases, he may refer you to an endodontist for treatment.
