Key Benefits.
When appropriately recommended and performed by a dental professional, root canal treatment can safely help save an infected or damaged permanent tooth and protect long-term oral health.
Local anesthesia and gentle treatment techniques are used to keep the procedure as comfortable as possible. Some tenderness or sensitivity may occur after treatment and usually improves with appropriate aftercare.
Treatment time depends on the tooth, the extent of infection, and the complexity of the root canals. Some cases can be completed in one appointment, while others may require additional visits.
Most teens can return to normal daily activities after treatment, depending on how they feel and the type of restoration provided. We will explain any temporary restrictions or aftercare instructions.
A crown or other protective restoration may be recommended depending on the tooth's condition, the amount of remaining tooth structure, and the risk of fracture. Your dentist will recommend the most appropriate option.
