What is a Root Canal?

Root Canal Logan UT - Aspen Dental of Cache ValleySo now you know your tooth needs a root canal to be saved, but what is a root canal? As you can see in the image below, sometimes teeth get infected due to a cavity that goes really deep. When that happens, we’ll open up your tooth to remove the nerve and fill in the space with a rubber-like substance that will be sealed in the tooth to prevent reinfection. We’ll then recommend a permanent restoration, often a crown, to restore the tooth and preserve it against fracture.

How successful are root canals, you wonder. Peer-reviewed studies show root canals to be between 90 and 98 percent successful, depending on the study you look at. Do you know of any other medical treatment you get with that high of success rates? If your tooth is a good candidate for a root canal, you are far better off saving it than the alternative.

I have gone to Aspen Dental religiously for over 3 years. The staff is friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Dr. Cameron is extremely proficient and accommodating. I have never left there dissatisfied. Some people dread going to the dentist, not me.
