Damage to your tooth from trauma, decay or wear can allow bacteria to create an infection in the tooth’s pulp. If the problem is not addressed, you can experience discomfort, swelling, bad breath and even problems with your overall health. If it the problem is not treated, you may find yourself in need of an extraction. At Sonrisas Family Dentistry, our dentist and team offer root canal therapy in Harrisonburg, Virginia. Dr. Laura Hernandez-Dauer can use this treatment to remove the infection and help keep your smile intact. At the first sign of a toothache, call 540-437-9422 to schedule your appointment.
