Root Canal Therapy in Coral Springs, FL
A root canal is one of the most common treatments for severe tooth decay and the best way to save your natural tooth. Our dentist at Optimum Dentistry in Coral Springs, FL will recommend root canal treatment if the decay reaches the root and causes intense pain. Not treating this condition in time, the decay can spread to your jawbone and cause permanent damage.
What is a Root Canal?
A root canal is a therapy of the pulp of the tooth that is infected, inflamed, or dead. The dental pulp is a soft material in the center of your tooth that consists of blood vessels, connective tissue, and the nerve. The center of your tooth (pulp chamber) is a hollow part which contains the pulp, and it continues down canals that extend through the roots of your teeth and into the surrounding bone.
What happens during a Root Canal Therapy?
A root canal is relatively painless, and the procedure only requires one to two visits. Any lingering inflammation will recede once the root canal is complete.
