Endodontics
If you've noticed that one or more of your teeth has darkened or become unusually sensitive to hot and cold, the nerve roots may be damaged. Dr. Kelley Fisher can determine the nature and extent of the damage. If it is significant, we may recommend root canal therapy.
Dr. Kelley Fisher offers root canal therapy based on three important principles:
- Comfort - to keep you relaxed, we offer oral conscious sedation, a small pill that you take prior to beginning your treatment. It allows Dr. Fisher to focus completely on the work at hand and leads to the next principle …
- Speed - we understand and respect your apprehension, so we keep a good pace when attempting to save your tooth. In fact, while you are sedated, we can complete multiple procedures in a single sitting.
- Efficacy - the last thing we want is to see you several months from now, complaining of a toothache in the same location. Our expert dental team thoroughly cleans away decay from your teeth the first time, ensuring the long-term health of your teeth.
If any of your teeth are displaying signs that decay is present within the roots, call Dr. Kelley Fisher and restore full function to your mouth.
Experience Gentle Issaquah Dental Care
Your roots are the channels of communication and nutrition that keep your teeth alive. They contain the nerves that help your mouth function optimally. Most of our teeth contain two roots, while some contain three. Without treatment at our Eastside dental practice, infected roots can damage nerve tissue, create significant toothache and ultimately destroy a living tooth.
When decay has infected the nerve of a tooth, endodontic care may become necessary - but let's be honest: no one wants to undergo a root canal. At certain times, however, we must do what is best to protect a collection of adult teeth that need to last us for many more decades.
Using advanced digital equipment to magnify images and locate the precise location and extent of decay, Bellevue dentist Kelley Fisher can pinpoint and remove infection, keeping your tooth alive and capping it with a beautiful crown to maintain it's structural integrity.
