Great place and family friendly. Lexie (dental hygienist) was wonderful with my 5 and 3 year old today as she cleaned their teeth. Wendy (receptionist) was so kind to my kids and helped keep them entertained as I got my teeth cleaned. I have always had a great experience here and highly recommend going!
A root canal is often the most effective way to save a tooth that’s been damaged by decay, injury, or infection.
Don’t let tooth pain disrupt your life. Call 515-337-2244 today to schedule an appointment at Dentistry At Somerset in Ames, IA. Find out how a root canal treatment can relieve your pain and restore your oral health.
Here’s why a root canal might be needed.
Extensive Decay
When a cavity reaches the tooth’s pulp, it can cause significant pain and infection. A root canal removes the decay and preserves the tooth.
Tooth Trauma
Injuries can crack or damage a tooth, leading to infection in the pulp. A root canal can repair the damage and prevent further issues.
Infection
An infected tooth pulp can cause pain and swelling. A root canal removes the infection, preventing it from spreading and saving the tooth.
Avoiding Complications
Ignoring symptoms like persistent pain, sensitivity, or gum swelling can lead to abscesses or spread the infection to other teeth. A root canal addresses these issues before they worsen.
