When the pulp of a tooth becomes infected, a patient will experience a great amount of pain and discomfort. Without general dentistry treatment, the infection will only spread and get worse. In order to relieve the pain, stop the infection and save the tooth, you may need root canal therapy. At Marvin Village Dentistry, we take great strides to treat infections as quickly as possible, in order to not only take away the pain but to protect the rest of your teeth and gums.

Root canal therapy has been practiced in dentistry since as far back as the 18th century. However, there have been significant advance in the therapy in recent years. Marvin Village Dentistry use a combination of technologies to help ensure you attend as few appointments as possible, without compromising on quality of treatment. If scheduling is a concern, don't hesitate to speak to our team and we will soon put your mind at ease. Dr. Walford has carried out root canal therapy countless times with great success, so you can rest assured that your teeth are in good hands.

Root canal therapy is a precursor to repairing an infected tooth. The immediate concern is clearing the infection and, most importantly for most patients, relieving the pain associated with a badly infected tooth. The pain from an infected tooth is your body's way of warning you that there is serious damaged. That is why patients who require a root canal, usually report pain levels much higher than normal.

Seeking treatment as soon as you realize something is wrong is the best course of action. Infected teeth promote decay, which will impact on your overall oral health. Root canal therapy will stop the spread of the infection, preventing it from further damaging the offending or adjoining teeth. Contact us today to schedule a consultation.
