Root Canal Treatment Washington, DC
An Excellent Way of Saving Aching, Troubled Teeth
If you’ve been dealing with severe tooth pain, it could be a sign that the inner part of your tooth is infected. Root canal treatment is the process of treating the pulp, the innermost part of the tooth, by removing the infected and contaminated nerve, tissue, and blood vessels, then disinfecting and sealing the pulp space with a special root filling material. And despite anything you’ve heard, it’s arguably one of the best ways of saving an infected tooth from needing to be extracted!

What Happens During a Root Canal?
During a root canal, our goal is to save your natural tooth while relieving any pain that’s being caused by an infected or damaged pulp. The procedure begins with carefully numbing the area to ensure your comfort, then we remove any infected or damaged pulp tissue from inside the tooth before gently cleaning and disinfecting the root canals. Once the space has been thoroughly cleaned, it’s then filled and sealed to prevent further infection. Finally, the tooth is restored with a filling or dental crown, giving you lasting strength, function, and relief.
