Saving Teeth in Detroit
When a tooth is threatened by severe decay, periodontal disease, or damage from an 
injury, a skilled Detroit 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.

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 Szalai & Szalai DDS, we fabricate strong, natural-looking crowns that blend perfectly with the surrounding teeth. With proper oral hygiene and regular visits to a Allen Park dentist, a tooth with a filled root can often function problem-free for the rest of a patient’s life.
We are dentists Szalai & Szalai. We have been practicing dentistry since 1987. During that time we have seen hundreds of teeth saved by this effective dental procedure. Root canal therapy at Szalai & Szalai DDS in Allen Park has a very high success rate.
Because teeth with infected pulp tissue often cause no symptoms, it is important to have regular dental examinations. We 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 313-928-2323.
Call Szalai & Szalai DDS immediately if one of your teeth is screaming for attention!
