Root Canal

Damage to the nerve tissue inside of a tooth sometimes requires a root canal procedure. Despite the tales you may have heard regarding the procedure, most root canals are no worse than having a simple filling performed – especially compared to the pain and discomfort you may be feeling before the actual procedure. Dr. Santiago takes advantage of advances in technology and dental techniques that make root canal procedures more effective, while also taking less time.

A root canal involves removing the soft tissue (the pulp) from within the tooth when it has become infected and inflamed. Dr. Santiago gently cleans the infected tissue out of the root canals of the tooth (this is where the procedure gets its name) and fills the void with an inert material. The procedure is completed with the placement of a filling or in almost all cases, a crown, to reinforce that tooth since so much was damaged by decay or a fracture.

You will experience relief from the pain and discomfort you may be feeling because of damage to a tooth, and root canal treatment is more comfortable than ever before!
