Root Canal Therapy in Mesa, AZ

A root canal is a treatment done when the tooth’s pulp is infected or inflamed. This can result from deep decay, a crack or chip, or multiple dental procedures. Infection causes the pulp to die, making the tooth very sensitive. During the root canal, the dentist in Mesa, AZ removes the infected pulp, cleans the tooth, and seals it to block bacteria from re-entering.

What happens during a root canal procedure?

Afterward, the root canals are sealed to prevent bacteria from returning. If the infection is severe, medication may be placed inside the tooth to eliminate any remaining bacteria.

What are the benefits of root canal therapy?

Root canal therapy preserves your natural teeth, avoiding the need for extraction. Extracting a tooth can cause neighboring teeth to shift, leading to bite issues. Saving your natural teeth helps maintain your smile and can reduce future dental costs.

What happens after root canal therapy?

The final step after root canal therapy is placing a dental crown or filling to restore the tooth’s strength and function. Since the treated tooth can become brittle and more likely to fracture, a crown helps protect it and prevents future issues like infection or tooth loss. Following retreatment, patients usually experience relief as the source of infection or inflammation is addressed.
