A root canal is a dental procedure used to treat infections or damage to the pulp of a tooth. The pulp is the innermost part of the tooth, containing nerves and blood vessels. When the pulp becomes infected due to decay, cracks, or trauma, it can cause severe pain and swelling.

Both fillings and restorations help maintain your oral health by repairing damage and preventing future issues. If you have a cavity or a damaged tooth, your dentist will discuss the best treatment options for you. Regular dental visits can help catch problems early, making these procedures less extensive and more effective!

Orthodontic treatment focuses on correcting teeth and jaw alignment to improve your smile and bite. It’s commonly associated with braces, but there are various options available to achieve better alignment. Orthodontic treatment can help with issues such as overcrowding, gaps, overbites, underbites, and misaligned teeth.

One common procedure is teeth whitening, which brightens stained or discolored teeth, giving you a more vibrant smile. Another option is veneers, thin shells placed over the front of teeth to fix issues like chips, gaps, or discoloration, making them look uniform and attractive.

Extractions are dental procedures where a tooth is removed from its socket in the jawbone. This can be necessary for various reasons, including severe decay, infection, overcrowding, or damage from trauma. After the extraction, you might experience some swelling and discomfort, which can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
