Root Canals: Conservative Tooth Saving Technique
In the past, a tooth that experienced severe trauma would die and have to be removed. With root canal therapy, Dr. Raines can often repair the damage and protect your oral health. Because we offer modern comforts, including oral sedation, our patients can rest easy during treatment.
When your tooth sustains an injury or develops deep decay, the pulp dies. Pressure builds inside the tooth and you may feel intense pain. During a root canal, Dr. Raines removes the diseased tissue, sterilizes inside the tooth, and seals the cavity to prevent additional problems. Any discomfort you feel usually comes from the actual infection, so most people feel better after the procedure. Dr. Raines may suggest over-the-counter anti-inflammatories to control any mild soreness.
You only get one smile, and we want to protect it. Call our dental office today to schedule your next appointment. Visit Dr. Raines in Laramie for all your dental needs, including root canal therapy.
