Root Canal Dentist Lakewood, CO
Dr. Elizabeth Turner
When the pulp within the center of your tooth becomes inflamed or infected, your tooth pain may become unbearable. Or, in other cases, it might not even hurt at all (which can end up being life-threatening). A root canal is oftentimes the best way to remove the infection, preserve your tooth, and prevent further infections from occurring.
Dr. Elizabeth Turner, DMD, in Lakewood, CO, provides root canal procedures to help save your natural tooth and get rid of your tooth pain.
Additional Information About Root Canals
Your teeth have three basic layers: the white enamel on the top, a hard surface below called the dentin, and then the very sensitive pulp in the center. When decay or damage to the tooth is severe, it can reach the innermost section (the pulp) and cause a painful infection.
A root canal allows your Lakewood dentist to clear away the infection and seal the tooth to protect you from further infection. It is also the best way to save your natural tooth.
