Root Canals in Puyallup, WA
Root Canal Therapy
A root canal is a common procedure performed that helps save a natural tooth and can alleviate pain from a toothache. The center of each tooth has a pulp (nerve) and when irritated by infection, can lead to significant pain. There are many causes why the pulp becomes infected including deep cavities, cracks in the tooth, and trauma.
We can help! If you are having a toothache and need relief, look no further. Our team will get you in quickly for a diagnosis and make the recommended treatment you need. Call us now for prompt emergency care.
What is a root canal?
Root canal therapy is a procedure in which the damaged pulp from inside a tooth’s root canals is removed. Once removed, the canals are filled with a material called gutta percha that prevents future infection in the area.
While this procedure may sound intimidating, it’s actually nothing to fear. Root canals can preserve your natural tooth and give you almost-instant pain relief caused by a dental infection!
