What is a root canal?
Root canals are the remedy for most bad toothaches! The inside of a tooth (pulp) can become infected with bacteria. Root canals (endodontic therapy) remove the infected pulp, sterilize the environment, and allow the tooth to be saved by restoration with a crown.
When a tooth becomes infected, that infection can spread into the center of the tooth. This area is called the dental pulp. Inside the dental pulp are the nerves, connective tissue, and blood vessels. All of the sensitive areas of the tooth are contained here. As such, when the area becomes infected it can be incredibly painful, requiring immediate treatment. We can perform a root canal quickly on people living in Sharpsville, PA, & nearby locations such as New Castle PA, Neshannock PA, Howland OH, Canfield OH Sharon PA, Hermitage PA, West Middlesex PA, Farrell PA, Greenville PA, Brookfield OH, Hubbard OH, Niles OH, Youngstown OH, Boardman OH and the rest of the Shenango Valley and Mahoning Valley.

What are the benefits of a root canal?
Root canals have many benefits for your oral health, including:
Relief of pain and sensitivity caused by infection
Prevention of tooth loss or further tooth decay
Less expensive care than tooth extraction and replacement with an artificial tooth
Though many people dread discomfort caused by a root canal, this discomfort is temporary and far less than the long-running stereotype of pain. A root canal provides a long-term solution to help you keep your natural teeth.
