Root Canal Treatment

Repair and Save Your Natural Tooth

Root Canals

Root canals are necessary in the event that the nerve tissue within your tooth dies or begins the process of dying. There can be several causes of nerve death with the most common being a neglected dental cavity that has entered or approached the nerve tissue.

Other reasons include excessively deep restorations (fillings), fractured teeth (usually due to large fillings), or various types of trauma determined by force to the face/tooth area. Once the nerve dies, fluid begins to collect below the tooth in the jawbone, creating a painful feeling of pressure. This collection of fluid is called an abscess and root canal treatment or extraction is required immediately to alleviate the patient’s discomfort.

Symptoms include extended sensitivity to cold temperatures, pain to biting pressure, throbbing and swelling. This procedure allows you to keep a tooth that would previously have had to be extracted, and likely saving you money compared to the replacement options.

Restoring the Tooth After Root Canal

Permanent fillings will be applied to protect the treated teeth from bacteria and to strengthen them in the process. We also recommend to fit a crown over the filled tooth due to the high risk of fracture without the extra protection. Also, the second advantage of crown is that they restore the natural appearance of your teeth.

I had dental treatment performed by Dr David Tan. The treatment included crowns and root canals. His dentistry skills are excellent. My procedures were pain free and I am very happy with the work he performed. I have recommended several other people to him and they all came back to me stating they were very happy with his work and professionalism. I would certainly recommend him to anyone who needs dental work. Thank you Dr David Tan for removing my fear in going to a dentist.
