Root Canal Therapy
Before the invention of root canal therapy, a severely damaged or decayed tooth would certainly have had to be extracted. Now, dentists can save these teeth by performing a root canal. Fresno and Clovis area residents who have a tooth that is causing them problems should visit Dr. Treva Lee's office as soon as possible.
When the tissue inside of a tooth, known as the "pulp,"
becomes damaged, the tooth will quickly die and decay if the diseased pulp
is not removed. When you have a root canal at our Fresno office, Dr. Lee
will drill through the top of your tooth to expose the pulp. She will then
remove the unhealthy pulp, fill the tooth, and restore the top of it with a
crown. Contact us to find out more about root
canal therapy in the Fresno and Clovis area.
