Periodontics/Root Canal

Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, can be as simple as inflammation in the gums, or more serious, causing problems in the structures that support the teeth. If gum disease is caught early, it is typically easier to treat than if the problem grows. However, our team is able to help you at any stage of gum disease.

Sometimes signs of gum disease are very subtle, but the following are some common early symptoms: Extreme tartar buildup, Continual bad breath, Bleeding from brushing or flossing, Irritation on the gum line, Pus between the gums and teeth, Swollen, tender, or red gums, Mouth sores, Receding gums

Root canal therapy is necessary when the pulp of your tooth, the soft tissue inside of the root canal, becomes infected or inflamed. If you need to undergo root canal (also known as endodontic) treatment, our team at Nance Family Dental will work hard to keep you as comfortable as possible during the procedure and get you one step closer to the happiest teeth on earth.
