Save Your Tooth and End Discomfort
When the inner pulp of a tooth becomes infected or damaged, root canal therapy offers a way to save the tooth and avoid extraction. During this procedure, the infected tissue is carefully removed, the tooth is thoroughly cleaned, and the interior is sealed to prevent further infection. At Valley View Dental in Tracy, we provide gentle root canal therapy to help you preserve your natural teeth while eliminating pain.
Signs You May Need a Root Canal
If you’re experiencing persistent tooth pain, heightened sensitivity to hot or cold, or swelling in your gums, you may need root canal therapy. This procedure is often required for patients suffering from deep cavities, cracked teeth, or trauma that impacts the pulp. At Valley View Dental in Tracy, we’ll carefully assess your symptoms and recommend the most effective treatment to protect your oral health.
