As always, we are happy to answer any questions you may have, so please feel free to <a href=\"https:\/\/carolinacompletedental.com\/contact-us\/\">give Carolina Complete Dental a call<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Root Canals Save Teeth<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Here it comes, the question on everyone\u2019s mind &#8211; why on Earth would you want a root canal?! There is one thing all dentists in Goose Creek and beyond will agree on &#8211; saving your natural teeth is always the best option. There are many ways that Dr. Barganier, Dr. Zuffi, Dr. Williams, and Dr. McAdams can replace <a href=\"https:\/\/carolinacompletedental.com\/services\/restorative-dentistry\/\">missing or damaged teeth<\/a>, but nothing is as good as the real thing. If you have a tooth with inflamed or infected pulp, a root canal, or endodontic treatment, can get rid of infection and save it. Thus, root canals are preferable to extraction. Here are some more advantages of endodontic treatment:<!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Natural appearance<\/li>\n<li>Efficient chewing<\/li>\n<li>Tolerance of normal bite force and sensation<\/li>\n<li>Surrounding teeth are protected from extra wear and\/or strain<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Root Canals Get Rid of Pain<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Perhaps if you had a root canal before modern techniques and anesthetics, it would live up to its reputation. That is not the case today, though, fortunately. In reality, if you have had a root canal, you are six times more likely to say that it was \u201cpainless\u201d than those that have never experienced the procedure. The truth is, root canals actually get rid of pain by removing infected, damaged tissues. When Dr. Barganier, Dr. Zuffi, Dr. Williams, and Dr. McAdams perform a root canal they clean out the infection, sterilizes\/disinfects the inside of the tooth, uses a rubber sealant to fill the gap, and then places a <a href=\"https:\/\/carolinacompletedental.com\/services\/restorative-dentistry\/#SameDayCrowns\">crown<\/a> or filling on top to protect the tooth. Once it is done, the tooth functions just like its neighbors. Voila, your tooth is now healthy again!<\/p>\n<p>At Carolina Complete Dental, we love changing people\u2019s minds about root canals, so please give us a call to find out if you can benefit from this treatment. Maybe then you\u2019ll start saying, \u201cThat was almost as pleasant as a root canal!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.webmd.com\/oral-health\/root-canals\" target=\"_blank\"
