Dr. Tucker has extensive experience in providing stress-free root canals at our Edmond dental office. His expertise, the attention of a gentle, caring staff, and calming sedation with nitrous oxide ensure that your procedure will be comfortable and uneventful.
A root canal is an essential procedure that’s needed to treat an infected tooth or dental abscess. Since the most common symptom of a root canal infection is an excruciating toothache, the procedure not only saves the tooth but also relieves your pain.
If Dr. Tucker doesn’t perform a root canal promptly, the infection will spread, the pain will worsen, and the only option left will be to extract the tooth.
We understand that the procedure has a terrible reputation, but you should know that a lot has improved in dentistry over the years. If your last root canal was a while ago, you will be pleasantly surprised how the procedure has improved in comfort and efficiency.
If you have any of the symptoms of a root canal infection, such as a toothache that worsens by the day, swollen or puffy gums, or lingering sensitivity to touch and hot and cold temperatures, call Edmond Dental at Deer Creek.
We see emergency patients, and we will see you as soon as possible—usually the same day—to provide the relief you so desperately need.
