Root Canal Therapy

---

Tooth pain can sometimes be caused by an  infection in the root of the tooth. If you’re experiencing severe tooth  pain, Dr. Vi Hoang will take digital X-rays of your teeth and gums to  determine the problem. If an infection is suspected, he may recommend root canal therapy.  This type of oral surgery involves cleaning out the infected tooth pulp  and sealing the inside of the tooth to protect against future damage or  infection. Once the infection has been cleared from the tooth, we’ll  place a crown on top of the tooth to give it added strength. The term “root canal” strikes fear into the hearts of many people,  but rest assured that the procedure is not as painful as you imagine. In  fact, most patients report that the tooth pain they were experiencing  was much worse than any discomfort they felt during the root canal  procedure. We also provide you with sedation to help you stay relaxed throughout treatment.
