Protect the Integrity of Your Smile with Root Canal Therapy

At Strongsville Smile Keepers in Strongsville, Ohio, we create and preserve beautiful smiles. If one of your teeth becomes damaged or develops a severe infection, Dr. Matt Gaebelein will offer immediate treatment to restore oral health. Depending on the severity of the condition, root canal treatment may be necessary to save your tooth and preserve your smile.

How Root Canals Preserve Your Smile

Bacterial infections can occur for various reasons. If your tooth gets fractured or broken, bacteria can seep through the enamel and infect the pulp of your tooth, which houses your blood vessels and nerves. The infection can lead to inflamed tissues and nerves. Root canal treatment provides a permanent solution for pulpal tooth infections, restoring the health and function of your smile. A root canal will stop the infection and preserve the functionality of your tooth. This involves removing the diseased pulp from your tooth. We will then disinfect the tooth chamber and root canals to remove any remaining infection and fill your tooth to prevent future decay. Finally, we will place a crown on your tooth to reinforce its structure and ensure its continued functionality.

In short, here’s what a root canal can do for you:

•  Eliminates Painful Symptoms

A bacterial infection within the pulp of your tooth can cut off its blood supply and damage the nerves. Severe pain, inflammation, fever, and an abscessed tooth are all signs that something is amiss with your tooth. Root canal treatment will eliminate your pain instantly by removing its source – the diseased pulp of your tooth.

• Restore Your Tooth

By performing root canal treatment, Dr. Gaebelein can stop the infection and prevent further damage to your tooth. If the infection is stopped soon enough, we can restore your tooth for future use. Once the pulp is removed and your tooth cleansed and sealed, we’ll cover it with a crown to strengthen its outer structure. Your tooth will then be ready for use.    

• Protects Healthy Teeth  

Oral infections do not resolve on their own. They will spread and infect healthy teeth and gum tissue if left untreated. A severe oral infection can enter your bloodstream, posing a risk to your internal organs. A root canal will curtail the infection to prevent it from endangering oral and general health.

•  Saves Your Tooth from Extraction

Pulpitis tooth infections can only be resolved through root canal treatment. The alternative would be to have your tooth removed. By choosing endodontic therapy, you give Dr. Gaebelein a chance to save your tooth and preserve the integrity of your smile.
