Maintaining healthy teeth involves more than just brushing and flossing; sometimes, dental issues require expert care to save a tooth and protect your smile. At Premier Dental & Oral Health Group in Lake Ozark, MO, root canal treatments are performed with precision and compassion by Dr. Ron Massie, whose years of training and experience ensure you’re in trusted hands.
What Is a Root Canal Treatment?
A root canal is a specialized dental procedure designed to save a tooth that is damaged, infected, or decayed beyond what a traditional filling can repair. The procedure involves removing the infected pulp inside the tooth, cleaning and disinfecting the inner chambers, and then sealing it to prevent further infection. Finally, a crown or restoration is placed on the tooth to restore its strength and functionality.
Though it may sound daunting, a root canal is a routine, efficient, and often pain-relieving treatment—and at Premier Dental & Oral Health Group, it’s always done with your comfort in mind.
When Do You Need a Root Canal?
Some common signs that you may need a root canal include:
- Persistent tooth pain or sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures
- Swelling or tenderness in your gums near the affected tooth
- A pimple-like bump on your gum (indicative of an abscess)
- Deep decay or a cracked tooth that has exposed the pulp
Ignoring these symptoms could lead to worsening pain, infection, or even tooth loss. Dr. Massie is here to help you prevent those outcomes with timely and effective care.
Root Canal Therapy and More
At Premier Dental & Oral Health Group, our services go beyond standard root canals. Dr. Ron Massie is an expert in endodontics and can also perform apicoectomies, an advanced procedure to treat infection or inflammation at the root tip of a tooth when a standard root canal isn’t effective.
By using the latest dental techniques and technology, we prioritize precision and efficiency while minimizing discomfort for you.
