Importance Of Restoring Oral Health

At Northridge Dental Group, we are passionate about helping our patients restore and improve their oral health. We know it can be difficult to overcome the feelings that many people experience when it comes to their oral health. Some patients who struggle with their teeth and mouth find it easier to avoid the problem and deal with the consequences. This can lead to years of discomfort and difficulty eating and smiling. We are here to help our patients, who may feel that all hope is lost when it comes to their oral health. With advancements in treatments and technology, we can improve any problem with your oral health.

Debunking Common Myths About Root Canals

At Northridge Dental Group, we do all we can to save your natural teeth. One treatment in particular can help us achieve this goal — root canal therapy. Many patients have heard of a root canal and have a bad impression without ever having received treatment. If you are unfamiliar, a root canal is the process of removing infected nerve tissue from the inside of the tooth. The root is then cleaned, disinfected, filled, and sealed. If a root canal is not performed when needed, the last resort is to extract the tooth to remove the infection.
