Treatment Of Root Canal Disease At Irving A Meeker MS DDS
 A root canal procedure
limits the infection and keeps it from destroying the tooth. During the
root canal treatment procedure, the dentist removes the inflamed or
infected tissue, carefully cleans, disinfects, and shapes the root
canal space inside the tooth, and then fills and seals this space.
It may take one or more appointments to complete the procedure. A
protective restoration should be placed after root canal treatment has
been completed in order to restore the tooth to function and help
prevent tooth fracture.
At Irving A Meeker MS DDS we think of a root canal as washing the invasive
bacteria out of the root, filling it with a biocompatible material that
soothes the area, then sealing it back up again. Top it off with a solid
filling or a crown, and you're as good as new.
And that means you get to keep your tooth. And
that's a good thing.
