Endodontics in Gladstone
 When your dentist says
you need a root canal, that's actually good news. It means the tooth can
be saved, instead of being extracted.
The procedure is not painful, as you may have
heard. The tooth is numbed so you won't feel any pain, and there is little
discomfort afterwards. Extracting the tooth would be less healthy and more
expensive.
Repairing the root canal is the way to save the entire tooth. The other
alternative is to pull the tooth entirely. However, leaving that space
empty may create other problems, like making chewing and biting more
difficult. Teeth may also shift their position if missing teeth are not
there to hold the space.
If you decide to have the dentist pull the tooth and replace
it with a denture or bridge, the cost will be significantly more than
the cost of a root canal in Gladstone at Dennis T Adair DMD PC.
