Natural teeth are meant to last a lifetime. Even if one of your teeth becomes injured or diseased, it can often be saved through a specialized procedure known as root canal (endodontic) treatment. Can my tooth be saved? Endodotic therapy at Bailey Family Dental is done in a relaxed, stress free environment.
What is root canal treatment?
Root canal treatment (endodontics) is one of the areas of dentistry
that Dr. Richard Bailey focuses on. Root canal treatment usually
involves the removal of the tooth's pulp, a small threadlike tissue that
was important for the tooth development. Once removed, it is replaced
with materials that seal off the root canal from its supporting
structures. Years ago, diseased or injured teeth were often extracted.
Today, even if the pulp of one of your teeth becomes injured or
infected, it often can be saved through root canal treatment. This is
the area of dentistry concerned with the prevention, diagnosis, and
treatment of diseases or injuries to the dental pulp.What is dental pulp?
The pulp is the soft tissue that contains the blood vessels, nerves and connective tissue of a tooth. It lies in a canal that runs through the center of the dentin- the hard tissue on the inside of the tooth that supports the outer layer of tooth enamel. The crown (the portion of the tooth visible above the gums) contains the pulp chamber. The pulp extends from this chamber down through the root canal of the tip of the root in the bone of the jaws. Teeth have only one pulp chamber but may have more than one root and several root canals.What happens if the pulp gets injured?
If the injured or diseased pulp is not removed, the tissues surrounding the root of the tooth can become infected, resulting in pain and swelling. Even if there is no pain, certain substances released by bacteriacan damage the bone that anchors the tooth in the jaw. Without treatment, the tooth may have to be removed.Click here for more

The benefits of having a family dentist are many. For some the thought of having one office that will treat every member of their family as they need care is important.
