Save Your Natural Smile With Root Canal Treatment at LPK Dental

Are you experiencing persistent tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, or swelling around a tooth? These could be signs of an infected tooth root or an abscess. While the phrase “root canal” might sound intimidating, our friendly and professional dentists at LPK Dental, Dr.’s Liesen, Pinzl, and Kessinger, provide gentle and effective care, ensuring your comfort throughout the procedure. If an abscess has formed, it might delay treatment while we manage it and allow it to heal. Once we’re confident with your oral health, we’ll walk you through the process step-by-step and provide the necessary treatment to have you eating and drinking again with confidence.

What is a Root Canal?

Inside each of your teeth is a soft tissue called the pulp which contains all the nerves and blood vessels. When the pulp becomes infected or inflamed due to tooth decay, fractures, or trauma such as a sports injury, root canal treatment is necessary to save the tooth.

During root canal treatment, the infected pulp is carefully removed, the inside of the tooth is cleaned and thoroughly disinfected, and then sealed with a special dental filling material. Our dentists eliminate the infection and protect the tooth from any further damage, as well as getting rid of the sensitivity the infection caused, ensuring a healthy and happy tooth.

Benefits of Root Canal Treatment

• Saves your natural tooth: Root canal treatment allows you to keep your natural tooth, avoiding the need for extraction.

• Relieves pain: By removing the infected pulp, root canal treatment effectively eliminates tooth pain and discomfort.

• Restores function: After the procedure, your restored tooth will function normally, allowing you to chew and speak with ease.

• Prevents further infection: A properly performed root canal prevents the spread of infection to surrounding teeth and bone.

What to Expect During a Root Canal

At LPK Dental, we prioritize your comfort and well-being. Our friendly dentists will ensure your root canal procedure is as painless and stress-free as possible, leaving you smiling from ear to ear.

We’re passionate about dentistry and use the latest techniques and dental technology to provide efficient and effective treatment you can trust. You can expect:

• Local anesthesia: We numb the area around the tooth to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. You might feel a little bit of pressure, but the process will be painless.
• Precise filling and sealing: When sealing the tooth, we ensure a completely smooth finish that not only keeps out the hot and cold sensitivity sensations you may have experienced, but also protects your tooth for a long time to come.

Don’t Delay Treatment

If you suspect you may need a root canal, it’s important to seek treatment promptly. Ignoring an infected tooth can lead to more serious complications.
