Saving Teeth in Daly City

Root Canals in Daly City When a tooth is threatened by severe decay, periodontal disease, or damage from an injury, a skilled Daly City dentist or endodontist must make a judgment call concerning the course of treatment. If the pulp of the tooth is infected or inflamed, a root canal is often the only way to save the tooth.

Kenneth Hovden DDS: 650-755-6000

During a root canal procedure (or endodontic treatment) the soft tissue in the root of the tooth is removed. This tissue contains veins, arteries and lymph vessels. Once the roots are cleaned out and widened, they are filled with a special rubber material. The root canal is only the first step in the complete tooth restoration. After the root canal, without a crown, the tooth will become dry and brittle. The final steps are the core build up and crown.

At Kenneth Hovden DDS, we fabricate strong, natural-looking crowns that blend perfectly with the surrounding teeth. With proper oral hygiene and regular visits to a San Francisco dentist, a tooth with a filled root can often function problem-free for the rest of a patient’s life.

I am Dr. Kenneth Hovden of Kenneth Hovden DDS  dental practice. I have been practicing dentistry since 1981. During that time I have seen hundreds of teeth saved by this effective dental procedure. Root canal therapy at Kenneth Hovden DDS in Daly City has a very high success rate.

Because teeth with infected pulp tissue often cause no symptoms, it is important to have regular dental examinations. I can determine which (if any) teeth have infected roots. If the infection in the soft pulp tissue is left untreated, it can progress to a point where the tooth cannot be saved. Is it time for a thorough dental exam? Call our office at 650-755-6000.

Call Kenneth Hovden DDS immediately if one of your teeth is screaming for attention!
