Root Canal Therapy in Buford
Do you experience persistent tooth pain or sensitivity? If yes, it could signal an infection deep within your tooth. At Choice One Dental of Buford, Dr. Jacobs provides gentle, effective root canal therapy to relieve discomfort and help preserve your natural tooth—so you can smile and chew with confidence again.
Why a Root Canal May Be Needed
Root canal therapy becomes necessary when the soft inner pulp of a tooth becomes inflamed or infected. This often happens due to:
- Deep decay or untreated cavities
- Cracked or chipped teeth
- Repeated dental work on the same tooth
- Trauma to the tooth, even if damage isn’t visible
Without timely care, infection can spread and lead to more serious issues like abscesses or tooth loss. A root canal helps eliminate the infection and restores the health of your tooth.
What to Expect During Treatment
Dr. Jacobs uses advanced imaging and precise techniques to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. Most root canals are completed in one to two visits. The process includes numbing the area, removing the damaged pulp, disinfecting the root canals, and sealing the tooth. A crown is typically placed afterward to protect and restore function.
