Root Canal Therapy
When the nerve inside a tooth is infected or inflamed, a root canal removes the infection and saves the tooth. Dr. Jordon Green treats front teeth and premolars here in the office.
Only an exam and X-rays can tell for sure, but these are common signs:
Overview
Dr. Jordon Green does root canals on front teeth and premolars. Root canals on molars, the large back teeth with more complex roots, are referred to another office. A root canal removes the infected or inflamed pulp inside the tooth, then cleans, disinfects and seals the canals, so you keep your natural tooth instead of losing it. Many teeth need a crown afterward to protect them, and Dr. Green places those as well.
The process
Dr. Green examines the tooth and takes X-rays to confirm the problem and see the roots.
With the tooth numb, the infected pulp is removed and the canals are cleaned, disinfected and sealed.
The tooth is closed with a filling, and a crown is added if it needs extra strength.

Questions
Don't see your question? The front desk is glad to help.
Modern root canal therapy is how we stop the pain of an infected tooth, not cause more of it. You'll be thoroughly numb throughout, and sedation options are available if you're anxious.
