Root Canal Treatment Baton Rouge, LA
Root canal treatment involves removing the infected dental pulp of a tooth, cleaning the tooth and placing a filling to prevent further infection. Root canals are referred to by Elizabeth H Guerrero DDS to our specialist.
While teeth can seem invincible pearly whites that break down food and help make a great smile, they have layers and can weaken over time. Without proper care, a tooth can sustain enough damage to expose the inner layer, known as the dental pulp. Infected dental pulp will cause varying levels of pain when eating, speaking or at any time of day.
Root canal treatment helps remove the infected dental pulp, preventing the spread of the infection to other teeth and helping to relieve pain. This procedure also helps to protect the tooth from further infection. Root canal procedures may be the sturdy and lasting solution to an infected tooth.
