As a proponent of conservative dental care, Dr. Wiese performs root canals to preserve internally damaged teeth and prevent extraction. The doctor uses advanced techniques and soothing sedation to make even complex root canals comfortable and successful. If you experience tooth or mouth pain, don’t ignore it. A root canal can eliminate pain and restore oral health.
Each tooth contains a bundle of nerves and tissue, called the pulp, inside. Canals that lead from the pulp to the root deliver nutrients and oxygen and carry away toxins. A tooth fracture, deep cavity, or other trauma can make these canals susceptible to bacteria. When this happens, infection occurs. Left untreated, the pulp may die, and you may lose your tooth.
To save your tooth, Dr. Wiese will clean out the canals and seal them with a biocompatible filler. A custom crown applied atop the tooth renews oral function and protects against further damage. Dr. Wiese often performs root canals in a single appointment to quickly return smiles to tip-top shape.
