Two words can strike fear into even the bravest of hearts: root canal. But at Dental Care Today in Fishers, root canals are performed with the patient’s comfort uppermost in mind.
A root canal is a procedure done to save a tooth. It treats the inside of the tooth, and becomes necessary when a cavity infects its interior, which can cause increased sensitivity and a whole lot of pain.
The technical term for a root canal is endodontic therapy. It works like this: after an access hole is drilled in the infected tooth, the damaged interior, or pulp, is removed. The remaining tooth is thoroughly cleaned, filled, and sealed. A crown is placed over the whole thing to protect it, and provide a natural-looking appearance.
Most people don’t like going to the dentist to begin with, and root canals have the reputation of being painful. For those who need a little help we offer sedation dentistry, including IV sedation. It won’t put you completely to sleep, but will get you through the procedure without much stress.
At Dental Care Today in Fishers, we provide general and family dentistry, and cosmetic dentistry procedures like teeth whitening. Call us today to schedule an appointment.
