Are you seeking treatment for deep decay, dental trauma, or a severe toothache in El Paso, Texas? We’ve got you covered with expert root canal treatment. At First Family Dental El Paso, we perform root canals with precision and care to remove the infected tissue, disinfect the area, and seal the tooth to prevent further problems. Contrary to popular belief, root canals are not painful procedures; modern techniques and local anesthesia make them as comfortable as getting a filling. After treatment, a crown is typically placed to restore strength and function to the tooth. Root canals save natural teeth, eliminate pain, and prevent the need for extractions. This procedure is a crucial step in preserving your oral health and avoiding more complex dental issues. We use advanced imaging and techniques to ensure the best outcome and a smooth recovery.
What Is a Root Canal and How Can It Help?
A root canal is a dental procedure that relieves pain caused by an infected or abscessed tooth. This procedure is designed to eliminate bacteria, prevent reinfection of the tooth, and save the natural tooth.
Root canals help:
