Generally, your family dentist or an endodontist can easily perform a root canal for you, as they have been extensively trained and have done several root canal procedures previously.

Our root canal treatments are an effective and safe treatment for teeth whose pulp have become infected or inflamed. This is not the only reason, as you may need a root canal in other situations as well like to help save a tooth or restore a tooth.

Tooth extractions can cause major anxiety; however, a lot of times it can be necessary for an individual. Although our permanent adult teeth were meant to last our lifetime, there may be a number of reasons why you may need a tooth extraction. Some of the most common reasons a tooth would need a tooth extraction include a tooth being badly damaged from trauma or decay and is beyond repair, a crowded mouth, infection like tooth decay, and risk of an infection or a compromise to your immune system if the tooth stays.

Tooth extraction is when a certified dentist or oral surgeon pulls your tooth which is causing issues. Before they pull the tooth, you will be offered a local anesthetic like an injection to numb the area where the tooth is going to be removed from. Once pulled, your dentist will pack a gauze pad into the socket of where the tooth was removed from and have you bite down to help stop the bleeding. Depending on the situation, your dentist may have to include a few stitches which are usually self-dissolved to help close the gum edges over the extraction site.

At Great Smiles Family Dentistry, we are able to help you with dental anxiety by offering a more relaxing and enjoyable experience.

First thing is to inform your dental clinic that you suffer from dental anxiety and let your fears be known as well as any past traumas or experiences that may have caused your dental anxiety.

As well, our dentists may be able to prescribe anxiety-relieving medication to help you relax upon your appointment. On top of this, you can have dental work done under conscious sedation or general anesthesia so you are not awake during your procedure(s).

Talk to your dental clinic when booking your appointment, so you can come to the best conclusion together about what would be a good fit for you during your treatments at Great Smiles Family Dentistry.
