Dr. Abdelrazek performs Root Canals using Rotary Instrumentation, Lasers & Sonic Instruments
Commonly called a root canal, root canal therapy is a type of endodontic treatment that Dr. Abdelrazek may recommend if the tooth pulp and nerves become infected or damaged. This may occur if injury or decay reaches deep into the tooth, past the outer enamel and dentin layers. When left untreated, this type of infection and disease may cause the tooth to die, necessitating a tooth extraction. Root canal therapy can enable us to save your tooth and avoid the need for extralusin.

Dr. Abdelrazek will skillfully remove the infected and injured tissues from within the tooth, clean the tooth, using rotary instrumentation, Lasers & Sonic instruments, and fill it with a medicated material. She will then cap the tooth with a restoration, such as a dental crown, to return the tooth to its original shape and structure. In most cases, a root canal can be completed in only one or two comfortable visits to our office.
Root canal treatment has a reputation for being a painful treatment. In reality, however, root canal treatment can often be completed with minimal discomfort thanks to advanced techniques, tools, and anesthesia. Dr. Abdelrazek spends countless hours continuously training for, so that you may have a comfortable experience each time you visit our office.
