Ask Dr. Casey
Question: I’ve heard horrible stories about Root Canals, should I be worried?
Today with modern technology and better anesthetics, root canal treatments are no more painful than a filling.
A root canal is a dental procedure to fix a tooth that can not be filled or restored any other way. Three indications a root canal is needed:
- pain
- long term infection
- save the root(s) for a restoration of the tooth
At our office we us the Tulsa Protaper System to make your visit as efficient and painless as possible: knowing what to expect can help ease the anxiety.
