Root Canal Fullerton
If the nerve or pulp of a tooth becomes inflamed or affected by disease, root canal is a necessary procedure. The root canal involves cleaning the infected root and sealing the canal. The procedure is generally simple and produces little or no discomfort for patients. Dr. Chiang’s office in Fullerton provides root canals and extractions for patients experiencing inflamed pulp.
The pulp is a sensitive area that contains nerves, blood vessels, and other tissues. If the condition worsens, the roots may experience a decline in health. A traumatic injury may lead to additional infections.
An infected or inflamed pulp leads to excessive pain and high sensitivity. The spreading of the infection causes pockets of pus to emerge, leading to dental abscess.
The root canal procedure has a high success rate. It removes the diseased tissue to prevent the spread of infection and restore a healthy amount of teeth. Additional facts about root canal therapy can be discussed by scheduling a consultation at Dr. Chiang’s office.
