What Are Root Canals?

Root canals are a necessary dental procedure that helps extend the life of a tooth, allowing you to avoid an extraction. If the roots of a tooth have become infected due to decay, injury, or other causes, a root canal can be performed to remove any bacteria and save the tooth.

At Sauk Trail Dental, we take extra care when performing root canals to ensure your comfort and safety during your time with us. If you need root canal care in Saukville, WI, contact us for more information.

Avoids Tooth Extractions

Most people would rather save their natural teeth than have them extracted. That's why we offer root canals to preserve your tooth and avoid having to remove it altogether.

Prevents Further Damage

When done correctly, a root canal can prevent further damage from occurring and stop other problems from developing down the line. Since the procedure removes the cause of infection, bacteria have less opportunity to spread outwards or downwards.

Saves Your Smile

A tooth treated with a root canal and restored with a dental crown or filling will maintain its natural appearance, contributing to a healthy and attractive smile.
