Your smile is essential to your overall health and an important part of your appearance. Without general dental treatments, decay, damage and infection can jeopardize both your smile and your health. When a tooth’s interior is compromised, root canal therapy in San Antonio is often the only option to save your tooth and prevent extraction. It can also stop the pain the infection causes. At Thousand Oaks Dental in San Antonio, we perform gentle root canal therapy in San Antonio that can restore your tooth and stop the pain.
Your teeth are made of layers that cover the root and nerve of the tooth that connect it to your jaw. When a tooth has serious decay or damage, the interior layer or pulp of the tooth can become infected. Once the infection reaches the interior of the tooth, pressure on the nerve can cause severe pain and begin killing the tooth. Root canal therapy removes the decay and infection, along with the nerve root. Once we sterilize and fill the tooth, we can be cover it with a dental crown, restoring the function and beauty without the need for extraction.
