Sam Dason DDS has performed plenty of root canals in his time as
a dentist. He knows that many people fear them, and dread the prospect of
having to receive one. While there is much stigma about root canals, Sam Dason DDS
knows that foregoing a treatment will likely result in far more pain for the
individual, than if they had simply gotten it taken care of. This is often the
case for many medical procedures, where instead of getting the treatment,
people hold off on it. This results in the problem getting worse, and likely
resulting in a more serious treatment.
The basis of the root canal is the pulp. This pulp is underneath
the hard, outer enamel that we see on the outside. The pulp is part of what
nourishes the tooth, but once a fully matured tooth is gained, it is no longer
needed, as the tooth can be nourished by the tissue surrounding it. If the pulp
becomes infected, it can cause infection and internal decay for the tooth
itself. This is obviously bad news for the patient. The pulp is removed and
carefully replaced by a substitute during a routine root canal.
Sam Dason DDS has experience in performing a variety of dental
procedures such as root canals, and he knows that people have little to fear.
Modern dentistry makes a root canal no more serious than getting a filling, and
is often finished in just one or two appointments. The modern root canal is
nothing to fear.
