Root canal therapy

Many people flinch when their dentists tell them they need root canal therapy. While dentists are sympathetic to fears of pain, at Barton C Allen DDS we also want you to know that root canal therapy has three purposes:

	Stop the toothache
	Prevent bacteria and pain from spreading into the jaw
	Maintain the original tooth instead of replacing it with a denture or bridge

When a tooth is decayed or cracked, bacteria can get to the dental pulp or nerve in the tooth. The acid from the bacteria irritates the pulp and it becomes inflamed; it's the same process you watch when other parts of your body become infected. When the pulp tissue becomes inflamed, it's harder for blood to flow to the tissue, and the resulting pressure creates pain inside your tooth.

For more information about how we at Barton C Allen DDS can help you with your root canal problems, call us at (214) 969-0280, we will be happy to talk with you.
