Root canal therapy is a method to save a severely decayed tooth that cannot support a traditional filling. However, at Dr. Keith Rudolph’s Family, Cosmetic and Reconstructive Dentistry, his experienced team offers root canal therapy using rotary endodontics, a special tool that makes the root canal process faster and more precise.
When bacteria invade the tooth, it can multiply and penetrate near the tooth’s nerves. This can cause sensitivity and pain at the tooth. This pain and discomfort is one signal that the decay is significant. After evaluating the tooth to determine if the tooth decay is significant enough, Dr. Rudolph may recommend a root canal. Root canal therapy can save an otherwise highly decayed tooth from extraction.
A root canal involves removing the infected tooth roots and nerves, cleaning the canals and filling the canals with antibacterial medications to reduce the likelihood infection will occur. After numbing the gum and tooth area, Dr. Rudolph will use a specialized tool using an electrical rotary hand piece. This hand piece benefits the patients by allowing the doctor to access the inner portion of the tooth more quickly. This reduces chair time for a patient, allowing them to return to their lives.
