Rather Have A Root Canal?

Yuma Endodontics

Have you ever heard the phrase ‘I’d rather have a root canal’ to describe something painful or unpleasant? At The Yuma Dentist in Yuma and Fortuna Foothills AZ, we perform root canal therapy routinely.

A Straightforward Procedure

Root canals are not all that complicated. The most important thing to remember is that the procedure is done to save an infected or damaged tooth. We do that by cleaning out the infection inside, filling the space that leaves, and sealing it.

Teeth that have had a root canal can last a lifetime. Most patients say their root canals were virtually painless – not much different than having a cavity filled.

One reason for that is modern anesthesia, which is better than ever. We begin with a local anesthetic, and that’s enough for a lot of patients. We also have stronger options.

Root canals are usually completed in just one appointment. It takes about two hours to complete the procedure. You may need to schdedule a follow-up for a crown or filling, but in simple cases everything can be done in just one session.

At The Yuma Dentist in Yuma and Fortuna Foothills AZ, root canals do not live up to their bad reputation. Patients from Foothills, Winter Haven CA, and Somerton come to our practice for complete general dentistry services. Call today!
