Absolutely yes! A root canal procedure is specifically designed to remove infected pulp from a tooth and ultimately save the decaying tooth. Root canals are highly effective and virtually pain-free with today’s technology. It is important to remember that an infected tooth will not improve on its own, but will continue to cause pain and spread infection. You must seek immediate treatment for any compromised teeth or you will carry the risk of losing not only the infected tooth, but its neighboring teeth as well. If you have any concerns about your teeth or oral health, reach out to Gilbert Vista Dental Care right away! We will get you into our office as quickly as possible to evaluate your teeth and discuss your concerns.
