Using their office\u2019s contemporary tools, they can provide effective care in just one appointment.<\/p>\n<p><b>What to Expect<\/b><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve never had a <b>root canal<\/b>, you may not know what to expect, but the process is simple. After you\u2019re comfortable, we\u2019ll gain access to your tooth\u2019s nerve, remove the damaged pulp at the center, fill it with an inert material and put a crown on the tooth to protect it.<\/p>\n<p>The goal of a <b>root canal<\/b> is to save a tooth and its root from being lost. Why is this important? Because a complete smile makes enjoying a nutritious diet easier and will keep nearby teeth from moving out of alignment. Plus, tooth roots are important for preserving the jaw. When a root is lost, the jaw will atrophy over time, potentially causing more tooth loss as it weakens.<\/p>\n<p>Do you have questions about how a <b>root canal<\/b> works? Is one of your teeth noticeably sensitive to hot or cold foods and drinks?
