Benefits of Root Canals
/
You might have read the title above and groaned at those two words: root canals. Many people have an unwarranted anxiety about this essential treatment, and it is why the team here at Provo Family Dentistry in Provo, UT wants our many patients to recognize the benefits of root canals. Of course, we also want patients to understand that endodontics in general is amazingly beneficial and enables any patient to retain their natural, adult teeth.
Understanding Endodontics and the Benefits of Root Canals
As your dentist in Provo, we offer a wide range of services, including endodontics. This is the treatment of any issues with the pulp of the tooth. Root canals are necessary when a tooth has decayed and the decay has gone inside to the pulp, causing infection and requiring a root canal. Our endodontist will numb the area and treat the tooth in a way that enables you to retain it and use it like always but without any further pain.
Clearly, this has to rate as the key benefits of root canals – that they end the pain. However, it is also important to note the immense value of natural teeth. Just the loss of one tooth can make difficult changes in the mouth, so this too is among the benefits of root canals. What other benefits are gained from endodontics, like the root canal?
You will be able to bite and chew naturally
Root canals allow you to have a cosmetically appealing smile (no gaps from lost teeth)
The root canal preserves the surrounding teeth, which are all used naturally and efficiently
