Endodontic treatment, also known as root canal treatment, is a highly successful method of saving a tooth that would otherwise need extraction. 9 out of 10 people who had a root canal performed by an Endodontist, a root canal specialist like Dr. Newberry, would return to one. 15 million root canal procedures are completed every year. A tooth with a root canal can last a lifetime, ensuring comfortable chewing and a natural appearance. Root canal treatment can be virtually painless thanks to advances in anesthesia and technology. Saving your natural tooth should always be your first choice when dental care is needed. Nothing, not even the most advanced bridges and implants, can truly replace your natural tooth. Bridges and dental implants can be more time consuming and costly than root canal treatment. Do everything possible to save your teeth before considering extraction.
