Saving Your Natural Tooth
At Smith Mountain Lake Dental Practice in Moneta, VA, we offer root canal treatment to save teeth that are severely infected or damaged. This procedure involves removing the infected pulp inside the tooth, cleaning and disinfecting the root canals, and then sealing the tooth to prevent further infection. Root canal treatment can alleviate pain and restore the health and function of your tooth.
Who Needs Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment is necessary for individuals experiencing severe tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling, or infection. It is also recommended when there is deep decay, a cracked or chipped tooth, or after repeated dental procedures on the same tooth. Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent the need for tooth extraction and maintain your natural smile.
Benefits of Root Canal Treatment

Preserves Natural Teeth: Saves your natural tooth, preventing the need for extraction and maintaining your smile.
Prevents Spread of Infection: Removes infection from the tooth and prevents it from spreading to other teeth or the jawbone.
