Root Canals

Root canals get a bad rap! But, the truth is that this common procedure actually saves millions of teeth every year.

What is a Root Canal?

A root canal is a restorative procedure that removes infected soft tissue within a tooth. Inside your teeth is pulp, containing blood vessels and nerves. Poor oral health care can cause this tissue to become infected. We are able to remove the pulp in a developed tooth to restore optimal oral health.

Why Do I Need a Root Canal?

Root canals are used to restore health. When infection in a tooth persists, it can lend itself to a larger issue. Infection tends to happen when a patient has poor oral health habits that leave plaque and bacteria lingering in the mouth. So, if Dr. Robert Abbiati, DDS recommends a root canal, it means that the rest of your oral health is left untreated.

Do Root Canals Hurt?

Many patients believe that root canals are unnecessarily painful. The truth is that modern dentistry makes this procedure relatively painless. But, if you have any questions or concerns, don’t be afraid to speak up!
