Root Canal Treatments in Rush City
Get Ahead Of Your Tooth Infection
Root canal treatment, also known as root canal therapy or endodontic therapy, is used to save an infected or damaged tooth and to avoid having to remove it. This becomes necessary when a neglected cavity reaches the pulp at the center of the tooth, causing the pulp to become infected. Symptoms of infected pulp include:
- Sensitivity to hot, cold, and sweets
- Sharp pain
- Throbbing pain
- Pain when biting or applying pressure to the tooth
- Bad taste in the mouth
Regular cleanings and checkups can detect and prevent these problems early on.

Access Through Crown
When a cavity is neglected to the point where the pulp becomes infected, a root canal treatment must be performed. This includes:
- Cleaning out the infected pulp
- Disinfecting the canals of the tooth
- Once resolved, the canal is filled to prevent further infection
- Crowns are usually recommended to cover and restore the tooth afterwards
With back teeth, it is always recommended to have a crown placed after the procedure to protect the teeth and ensure successful results.
