At Peña Adobe Dental Advanced Implant and Cosmetic Dentistry in Vacaville, root canal therapy is a safe and effective way to save a tooth that is severely infected or damaged. When the pulp inside your tooth becomes inflamed or infected, it can cause significant pain and sensitivity. A root canal involves removing the infected pulp, cleaning the inner chamber of the tooth, and then sealing it to prevent further infection. This procedure allows us to preserve the tooth and restore its function, helping you avoid the need for an extraction.
Root canal therapy is necessary for patients who experience severe tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, or swelling in the gums. These symptoms are often signs of an infection or deep decay affecting the pulp of the tooth. If left untreated, the infection can spread, leading to further damage or tooth loss. Root canals are a great option for preserving your natural teeth and preventing the need for extractions. At Peña Adobe Dental Advanced Implant and Cosmetic Dentistry, we help determine if a root canal is the best solution for your specific condition.
We refer most of our root canal cases to a trusted specialist to ensure our patients receive the highest quality care from one of the best specialists in the area.
