Corunna, MI, Dentists Dr. Paul R. Kuhlman and Dr. Dirk G. Rennick Aid Patients with Endodontic Therapy

A root canal is a procedure that most patients wish to never receive in their lifetime. The procedure itself used to require more than one appointment to complete and took a substantial amount of time. In recent times, thanks to advanced training and techniques practiced by Riverview Dental root canal (endodontic) therapy is an effective procedure done with little or no discomfort.

Millions of teeth are treated and saved each year with root canal, or endodontic, treatment. To understand a root canal procedure, it helps to know the anatomy of the tooth. Inside the tooth, under the white enamel and a hard layer called the dentin, is a soft tissue called the pulp. The pulp contains blood vessels, nerves and connective tissue, and helps to grow the root of your tooth during development. In a fully developed tooth, the tooth can survive without the pulp because the tooth continues to be nourished by the tissues surrounding it.

During root canal treatment, the inflamed or infected pulp is removed and the inside of the tooth is carefully cleaned and disinfected, then filled and sealed with a rubber-like material. Afterwards, the tooth is restored with a crown or filling for protection. At Riverview Dental, the patient is the first priority. Nitrous oxide is administered for patients who just need to “take the edge off.”
