 Root Canal Therapy
You've probably heard the phrase, "I'd rather have a root canal." Many people mistakenly associate tooth pain with the root canal procedure. In reality, their pain is caused by an inflammation within the tooth. Dr. Edderai can alleviate tooth pain and perform comfortable root canal therapy in our Miami dental office.
Patients whose teeth have sustained internal damage, perhaps from a large crack or cavity, may require root canal therapy. The purpose of the root canal is to remove the infection and restore the natural tooth. As a conservative general dental office, we prefer saving the natural tooth to extraction whenever possible. With modern tools, methods, and medications, root canal therapy is more comfortable than ever before. During the procedure, Dr. Edderai cleans out the tooth's canals with tiny instruments and fills the tooth with a rubberized substance. In a second appointment, Dr. Edderai places a crown over the treated tooth. This ensures lasting strength and durability and reduces the probability of re-infection.
Left untreated, an internally damaged tooth can cause acute pain and swelling, as well as an infection in the jawbone (abscess). A root canal will prevent the need for extraction, saving you discomfort, expense, and time in the long run. In most cases, Dr. Edderai performs root canal therapy in a single visit. For advanced cases, he may refer you to an endodontist (root canal specialist).
