Root Canal

There are times when patients may need to undergo root canal therapy. While root canals have a “bad rap” due to outdated misperceptions, they are not painful or difficult to undergo. In fact, root canal therapy helps relieve the pain that patients may be experiencing due to an abscess or infection. The treatment is relatively quick, easy, and effective at saving the natural tooth. Root canal therapy is a routine dental procedure that the team at Löberg Professional Dental Corporation is familiar with; they have done it many times for patients of all ages.

Root canal therapy begins with the dentist making an opening in the top of the tooth to access the problem area. Next, the dentist cleans, shapes, and disinfects the root canal spaces. After the space is carefully prepared, the roots are filled with a biocompatible material to ensure complete sealing of the canal space. The tooth is then ready for the final restoration, such as a dental crown. The crown is placed because the tooth can become weak and brittle after the root canal treatment. The blood supply is removed from the tooth, so it no longer keeps the tooth “alive” in the traditional sense of the word. Breakage or other damage can occur to a tooth that has undergone root canal therapy, so it is essential that Dr. Löberg provide strength and protection by placing a dental crown to maintain the natural tooth for years to come.

Root canal therapy is a common way to preserve natural teeth, and has been used for years to improve the oral health of dental patients like you. Dr. Löberg is available to help you if you are in need of root canal therapy.
