Root canal treatment, commonly referred to as a 'root canal,' is a specialized form of endodontic therapy typically recommended when the tooth's pulp and nerves become infected or damaged.

This condition may arise due to injuries or deep decay that reaches beyond the outer enamel layer. When left untreated, this type of infection and damage can lead to the death of the tooth, often necessitating its extraction. To preserve the tooth's health and avoid extraction, Dr. Pham will perform a procedure to remove the infected and injured tissues from within the tooth, clean it thoroughly, and fill it with a medicated material. Following this, we will cap the tooth with a restoration, such as a dental crown, to restore its original shape and structure. In most instances, a root canal can be completed comfortably in just one or two visits to our office.

Root canal treatment has gained a reputation for being a painful procedure. However, in reality, advancements in techniques, tools, and anesthesia have made root canal treatment far less uncomfortable than it is often perceived. Dr. Pham and our dedicated team are committed to ensuring that your experience is as pleasant and comfortable as possible during your visits to our office.
