Expert Root Canal Saves Teeth
At Germantown Dental Care, we offer gentle and effective root canal treatment to save teeth that are severely decayed, infected, or damaged. Root canals are part of a specialty area of dentistry called endodontics, which focuses on treating the inner portion of the tooth, known as the dental pulp.
When the pulp becomes inflamed or infected due to:
- Deep decay
- Trauma or injury
- Cracks in the tooth
…it can lead to intense pain, sensitivity, and even abscesses if left untreated.
What to Expect During a Root Canal
During the procedure, our team:
- Carefully removes the infected or damaged tissue inside the tooth
- Thoroughly cleans and disinfects the area to prevent further infection
- Seals the tooth to protect it from future problems
After the root canal, the tooth is typically restored with a dental crown to:
- Strengthen and protect the tooth
- Restore normal chewing function
- Maintain a natural, confident smile
- Comfort & sedation options
Modern root canal treatment is:
- Safe and highly effective
- Much more comfortable than many patients expect
At Germantown Dental Care, we offer sedation options to ensure a calm, relaxed, and stress-free experience throughout your visit.
