A root canal is a treatment used to save a tooth that is severely infected or damaged. When the pulp inside your tooth (the soft tissue containing nerves and blood vessels) becomes inflamed or infected—usually due to deep decay, a crack, or trauma—it can cause serious pain and lead to further damage if left untreated.
Root canal therapy removes the infected tissue inside the tooth, cleans the root canals, and seals the tooth to prevent further infection. This procedure helps save your natural tooth, which is always better than extraction and restores its function without the need for replacement.
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, Espire Dental Casper is here to help. Our expert team will carefully assess your condition and determine if a root canal is the right solution.
Saving your natural tooth is always the preferred option, and that’s exactly what a root canal helps achieve. If a tooth becomes infected, the infection won’t heal on its own and can spread, leading to abscesses, bone loss, and other complications. By performing a root canal, we can remove the infection, preserve your tooth, and restore your smile without the need for extraction. The benefits of a root canal include:
