Root Canal Treatment
Root Canal Treatment in San Ramon, CA
A root canal is a dental procedure used to treat infection or damage within the pulp (the soft tissue) of a tooth. While the thought of a root canal might make some people nervous, it’s a common and highly effective treatment to save a tooth that might otherwise need to be extracted. The goal of a root canal is to remove infection, alleviate pain, and restore the tooth’s function and health.
Why Is a Root Canal Treatment Needed?
Root canal treatment is necessary when the pulp inside a tooth becomes infected or inflamed. Some common reasons for this include:
- Deep Decay: Untreated cavities can reach the pulp, causing infection.
- Trauma or Injury: A cracked or fractured tooth can expose the pulp, leading to a root canal infection.
- Repeated Dental Work: Multiple fillings or other dental procedures may cause wear on the tooth, eventually affecting the pulp.
- Gum Disease: Advanced gum disease can affect the roots of teeth, leading to pulp infection.
