Our teeth are the strongest and hardest substances in our bodies. Often mistaken for bones, teeth are living calcified structures comprised of hard and soft tissues. Teeth are a natural wonder; their bone-like, rooted structure is similar to a grove of trees. The outer, hard tissues of our teeth protect the inner, soft tissues just like bark protects a tree\u2019s essential living systems. The tooth\u2019s soft tissues are also living systems, composed of blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissue.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

Like every other living part of our bodies, our teeth are also susceptible to infection and injury. When a tooth is damaged or diseased, the soft tissues are at risk. Years ago, a damaged or diseased tooth was pulled, leaving countless mouths void of their necessary function and structure. <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

When a removed tooth is not replaced, the surrounding teeth tend to shift in your mouth. This can make it more difficult to chew, bite, speak, and clean your teeth. However, root canal therapy can save your natural tooth, preventing the need for a costly replacement tooth. <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

What does root canal therapy involve?<\/o:p><\/span><\/h2>\n

The root canal is the part of the tooth that houses all the vessels, tissues, and nerves. Dr. Advani uses root canal therapy to treat the root canal by removing the damaged pulp tissue. Once the pulp tissue is removed, the tooth\u2019s root canal is filled with a durable, rubber-like material. Finally, Dr. Advani adds a crown or filling for extra protection, giving you a beautiful, long-lasting smile. <\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

After root canal therapy, the tooth is dead because the nerves have been removed. Once the tooth is dead, you will no longer experience any pain from that tooth. It\u2019s important to note that although the tooth is dead, it will still look healthy and function properly. A tooth with a root canal filling can last for several years, but only if it\u2019s properly restored, maintained, and cleaned. <\/span>With root canal therapy, we can help you save your smile. <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n
