Thorough Root Canal Therapy Near Fair Oaks

No one likes to hear that they need a root canal, but endodontics is the treatment that can mean the difference between keeping and losing a tooth. At Sun Oaks Dental of Fair Oaks, we approach root canals with the professionalism we apply to all levels of our practice. We seek the most efficient, least invasive and highest level of comfort possible in our office procedures. The process involves accessing and removing the pulp and nerve of the tooth from the crown. The internal aspect of the tooth is then thoroughly cleaned. Sometimes a temporary filling is placed on the tooth until the next appointment. The inside of the tooth is then cleaned again and filled with rubber to prevent bacteria from leaking in. Once the work is done, the tooth is protected and restored to its natural healthy look.
