Nerve Treatment
What is nerve treatment?
Nerve treatment, commonly referred to as root canal therapy, is a dental procedure designed to treat infections or damage to the dental pulp—the innermost part of the tooth that contains nerves and blood vessels. When the pulp becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, cracks, or trauma, nerve treatment is necessary to save the tooth and prevent the infection from spreading. At Caspian Dental & Orthodontics, our team performs this procedure with precision and care, ensuring that patients receive the highest level of comfort and care.
Benefits of undergoing nerve treatment
- The benefits of nerve treatment are significant, as it allows you to retain your natural tooth, avoiding the need for extraction and more complex procedures such as dental implants or bridges.
- Nerve treatment not only eliminates the pain caused by the infection but also restores the function of the tooth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile confidently.
- Additionally, preserving your natural tooth helps maintain the alignment of your bite, which is crucial for overall dental health.
- By preventing other teeth from shifting, nerve treatment contributes to long-term oral stability and well-being.

The procedure typically takes one to two visits, depending on the complexity of the case.
Will my tooth be weaker after nerve treatment?
After nerve treatment, the tooth is often restored with a crown, which provides added strength and protection, allowing it to function normally.

Persistent tooth pain, sensitivity to hot and cold, swelling, and discoloration of the tooth are common signs that may indicate the need for nerve treatment.
