Don’t let a tooth infection get the best of you
While mild tooth decay can often be treated with a filling or crown, when decay goes untreated for too long it can be very uncomfortable. A root canal is an effective way to alleviate the pain and save the tooth from being extracted.
Dr. Bryan Schofield is skilled at making the procedure as efficient and comfortable as possible. Don’t let tooth pain control your life, a root canal may be the solution you’ve been looking for.
Root canal treatment at Wy’East Dental
- During your comprehensive exam, Dr. Schofield will determine if root canal treatment is the appropriate course of action for you.
- We’ll ensure your comfort during the entire treatment process.
- Dr. Schofield will remove tooth decay, and fill and seal the tooth.
- A custom filling or crown will be placed over your tooth to protect it and give you a natural-looking smile.
The root canal is the natural cavity in the center of the tooth that contains the tooth’s nerve and blood supply. When the nerve is inflamed, it can cause pain. During a root canal procedure, the nerve and infected tissue are removed, and the inside of the tooth is cleaned and sealed.
