A root canal (endodontic therapy) is a dental procedure that treats infections in the tooth pulp, the deepest layer of your tooth. This painless treatment helps save a tooth that would otherwise require extraction.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a general dentist perform tooth extraction?

A general dentist is qualified to perform tooth extractions, especially for teeth that are fully erupted and not too complicated to remove. For complicated extractions, such as impacted wisdom teeth, a referral to an oral surgeon might be recommended.

Is oral cancer screening included in general dentistry?

This procedure is part of a routine or dental checkup. During your regular exam, we look for signs of oral cancer, such as unusual lumps or lesions. Early detection is important for effective treatment and prevention.

What's the difference between general and cosmetic dental services?

General dentistry focuses on maintaining oral health, including preventive care, dental fillings, and extractions. Cosmetic dentistry, on the other hand, improves the appearance of your smile through procedures like veneers, whitening, and crowns.
