When a tooth becomes severely decayed or infected, root canal therapy can save it and restore your oral health. At Keller Crossing Dentistry, Dr. Chiyuan Chen provides gentle and precise root canal treatments in Fort Worth, Texas, to relieve pain and protect your smile.
What Is a Root Canal?
A root canal is a restorative procedure designed to treat infection or damage in the pulp of a tooth, which is the innermost layer containing nerves and blood vessels. During the procedure, the infected pulp is removed, the inside of the tooth is cleaned and disinfected, and the tooth is sealed to prevent further issues. A crown may also be placed to restore strength and function.
Why Choose Root Canal Therapy?
Root canals are an effective alternative to tooth extraction, helping to:
- Relieve severe tooth pain caused by infection or damage.
- Preserve your natural tooth structure.
- Prevent the spread of infection to other teeth.
- Restore your ability to chew and speak comfortably.
Dr. Chiyuan Chen uses modern techniques and a patient-focused approach to ensure your comfort during every step of the process.
