Root Canal in Orlando FL - Nona Dental Arts

A procedure that removes the infection from a damaged tooth, root canal therapy helps patients save a tooth that would otherwise require removal.

At Nona Dental Arts, we’ve seen the restorative effects of root canal in Orlando time and time again, and we encourage you to contact us today if you suspect you may require root canal therapy!

What symptoms are associated with the need for root canal therapy?

Some of the most common symptoms include toothache, sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures, swelling of the gums or jawbone, tenderness when chewing, discoloration of the tooth, and/or a pimple-like bump that develops on the gums.

How is root canal therapy performed?

During the procedure, a small hole is made in the tooth and then special instruments are used to remove any infected pulp. Once this has been done, the inside of the tooth is thoroughly cleaned, disinfected, and sealed off with a rubber-like material to prevent any further infection from occurring while simultaneously restoring the function of your tooth.

What benefits are associated with this procedure?

The primary benefit is the fact that it can save an infected tooth from extraction. In addition, it also helps preserve the natural structure of your smile, eradicates infection that can spread to and damage nearby teeth, and it also removes the pain and/or discomfort associated with a severely damaged tooth.

Who is a good candidate for root canal therapy?

If you have a significantly injured or decayed tooth that is causing one or more of the symptoms listed above, call us today for a thorough examination as root canal therapy may be necessary to save your tooth.
