If you’ve ever needed to have a root canal, you’ve probably wanted to make sure that the process was going to be as gentle and efficient as possible. Our office makes that a reality for patients in Chiefland, FL.
When a general dentist isn’t equipped to treat a complex infection or difficult case, the patient is referred to an endodontist. Dr. Khan, however, is more than just a general dentist, because he specializes in endodontics and has completed hundreds of hours of continuing education and certification for this specialized field. Dr. Khan has over 30 years of experience in root canal procedures.
Do I Need a Root Canal?
When would a tooth need to be treated endodontically? Here are a few examples:
- There is an abscess along the gumlines, indicating an infected nerve
- Enamel coloration is gradually darkening in one tooth, due to a history of accident or trauma
- Your tooth exhibits signs of a cracked root
- Hypersensitivity
- Large decaying areas that extend into the nerve chamber are present
- What to Expect with a Root Canal
Once the diseased nerve tissues are removed, the tooth will be sanitized and filled to prevent reinfection. A porcelain crown will be recommended to maintain everyday function as well as aesthetics.
