Root Canal Treatment

Root canals have an undeserved reputation for being painful — the truth is, they relieve pain. When the inner pulp of a tooth becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay or injury, a root canal removes the infected tissue, cleans the canal, and seals it to prevent further infection. At Palm Dental Care, most root canals are completed in a single visit with local anesthesia, and sedation is available for anxious patients. Saving your natural tooth is almost always better than extraction, and a root canal is the most effective way to do that.
