by

Just the thought of it causes anxiety in many Americans but root canal treatment (also called a root canal) is done when decay will likely damage or has already killed a tooth. Doctor Warren L. Spencer whose central Florida practice draws patients from Orlando, Longwood, Lake Mary and Altamonte Springs explains that, During a root canal, I will remove the pulp from the center of a tooth and fills the pulp cavity. This can prevent the development of a painful infection in the pulp that may spread to other teeth; it can also treat an infection that has developed into an abscessed tooth. This procedure can relieve toothache, stop infection, and promote healing.

where you can find a step-by-step explanation of the procedure.

While patients often fear the thought of a root canal the procedure needs to be done as soon as possible to avoid a severe infection, which can damage the bone surrounding the root of the tooth and infect other teeth. The earlier the dentist is contacted and the sooner treatment begun the more gentle and pain free the experience will be. Severe infection can often make it difficult to numb the area, however Doctor Spencer is expert in administering sufficient anesthesia for a pain free experience.

If you have a severely decayed or infected tooth, the other option is to choose to have the tooth removed and the space left open or restored with a fixed or removable bridge.
