Root Canal Treatment in Salem, OR
One of the most common dental emergency procedures we perform is root canal treatment. While many patients would prefer to avoid root canal therapy altogether, this tooth-saving procedure is actually designed to relieve pain and save your tooth from extraction.
Using modern rotary instruments, Dr. Huish will clean infection and bacteria from the internal canals in the teeth and seal the tooth with a restoration designed to add stability and strength to the tooth. In most cases, dental crowns are the best option, especially for molars, which absorb most of the force from chewing.
While it is common to feel slight sensitivity for a few days, having a root canal eliminates the problem of infected teeth and helps patients get on track for healing and feeling like themselves again.
