Root canal therapy is a common dental procedure that is designed to save a tooth that has been severely damaged or infected. When the pulp inside a tooth becomes inflamed or infected due to decay, trauma or repeated dental procedures, root canal therapy is often the best option to preserve the natural tooth. The treatment involves removing the infected or damaged pulp, thoroughly cleaning the root canals and then sealing the space with a biocompatible material. This process helps to prevent further infection and restores the tooth’s function.
At Miami Dental Community, Dr. Filiberto Herdocia ensures that the procedure is as comfortable as possible. We use the latest technology to enhance precision and minimize discomfort during treatment. Root canal therapy is often misunderstood as a painful procedure, but with modern techniques and anesthesia, most patients report little to no pain, comparable to getting a filling. The primary goal of the treatment is to save your natural tooth, which is always preferable to extraction.
After the procedure, you will be fitted with a crown to protect and restore the tooth’s structure. This allows you to continue to use your tooth as you normally would, without the need for more extensive dental work later. Our dentist and team are committed to providing high-quality care.
