Root Canal Therapy in Fort Smith and Van Buren, AR

If you have a tooth that has become infected, it is important to treat the infection to keep you from losing the tooth as well as restore health to your smile. At New Smile Dental, we can use root canal therapy to treat your infected tooth and improve your oral health.

Root canal therapy is an important treatment because it addresses an infection inside of your tooth. When decay is allowed to breach the enamel of the tooth, it allows the pulp inside of the tooth to become infected. This is often a painful infection that can lead to tooth loss if left untreated for too long. Other symptoms include increased sensitivity to hot and cold food and drinks, gum swelling and abscesses of the gums. If we determine that your root canal is indeed infected, we can restore your tooth with root canal therapy.

For your treatment we’ll start by numbing the affected area to keep your comfortable. We’ll use a drill and additional tools to remove the infected inner pulp of your tooth. It will be replaced with a special material that will protect the sensitive root canal. We will top your tooth with a crown to complete your restoration.

If you’re suffering from a root canal infection, we can help restore the health of your smile with root canal therapy. This treatment will help to restore strength and function to your tooth, as well as help protect against further infection. The health of your smile is important so give us a call today to see how we can help.
