A root canal is a highly effective procedure for saving a severely compromised tooth from extraction, and helps to alleviate the painful symptoms of a tooth infection. At the office of Gregory L. Torosian, DDS, your provider of Omaha root canal therapy, we keep pace with the most advanced approaches to patient comfort, to make your root canal treatment a stress-free experience.
Omaha Root Canal
Root canal treatment is a common treatment method, and has a very high success rate approaching 95%. Your highly skilled dentist employs state-of-the-art technology and techniques to deliver the most precise and gentle care. Along with an experienced and compassionate team of professionals, your dentist will keeps you well-informed and comfortable. If you are experiencing a toothache, which may be accompanied by fever and swelling, this may indicate a tooth infection, which requires immediate treatment. An infection may occur when there is a fracture or decay on the outer surface of the tooth, which allows bacteria to seep in, infecting the underlying dental pulp. The dental pulp consists of a blood vessels, nerves and core tissues, which act as an alarm, sending signals of pain to indicate when something is wrong with your tooth. During an Omaha root canal, your dentist removes the damaged pulp, cleans and shapes the pulp chambers, then seals the tooth with inert materials. A successful root canal provides much needed relief from a toothache and prevents subsequent damage to the tooth. A tooth that has been treated with a root canal can remain healthy and functional throughout your life. Following treatment, your dentist may recommend a crown to completely restore the treated tooth.
