Root Canals - Palm Beach Smiles
Lions, tigers, bears, and Root Canals - Oh, my!
Root canal therapy is probably the most misunderstood and maligned dental procedure. The butt of sitcom jokes and even horror scenes in movies, the myths of root canals are a challenge to overcome.
Here's the truth about root canals:
 |
They don't hurt. You are numb during the procedure. They don't hurt. |
|
They relieve pain. Many patients who need root canal therapy arrive in pain. Treatment relieves that pain. |
|
No, we aren't removing the roots of your tooth. The infected contents of the roots are removed. |
|
Root canals save teeth that would otherwise have to be extracted. |
|
Did I mention they don't hurt? J |
When is root canal needed?
|
Decay has reached the pulp (nerve) of a tooth. |
|
The pulp has been irritated beyond natural healing and is causing pain. |
|
The pulp has died and is causing inflammation or swelling. |
|
There is an abscess at the end of the root. |
