Root Canals With Ala Moana Dental Care

A root canal is the cleaning of the canals inside the tooth and sealing it to prevent the possibility of future bacterial contamination.

The most common condition that necessitates this proedure is bacterial contamination of the canal from decay. This eventually leads to infections in the jaw bone and abscesses in the gum tissue or surrounding cheek or neck. If the condition is neglected long enough a patient can actually find themselves in the hospital with a life threatening infection.

Other conditions that may require a root canal vary but may include necrosis of the nerve or the need to establish a foundation for a restoration on a badly broken down tooth.

Our office takes pride in our root canals and we have the advantage of having the best technology to allow your tooth to heal after the infection has been treated. Laser disinfection in the root canal has been shown to be greatly effective in reducing the bacterial contamination in the canal and therefore give the body the best chance of healing after an infection.
