When you are suffering from a severe toothache, finding relief can be frustrating. Anticipating treatment can provoke anxiety that rivals your physical discomfort.
At Sioux City Endodontics, we understand your fears and treat you with the greatest compassion and care, ensuring your thorough education of the procedure, a positive, pain-free experience, and complete recovery.
We spend extra time diagnosing each patient and explaining their treatment recommendations. We want our patients to understand the “why” and “how” of their procedure, which helps to alleviate any anxiety they may have about the process. Ammon L. Anderson. DDS and Kiya Stack-Miller, DDS are highly talented and respected endodontists who work hard to bring both cutting-edge technology and the human touch to every one of their patients.
A root canal is one of the most common dental procedures performed, well over 14 million every year. This simple treatment can save your natural teeth and prevent the need of dental implants or bridges. At the center of your tooth is pulp.
Generally, a root canal is all that is needed to save teeth with injured pulp from extraction. Occasionally, this non-surgical procedure will not be sufficient to heal the tooth and Drs. Anderson and Stack-Miller will recommend surgery.
With the appropriate care, your teeth that have had endodontic treatment will last as long as other natural teeth. Yet, a tooth that has received treatment may fail to heal or pain may continue to exist. Sometimes, the pain may occur months or years after treatment.
In fact, some studies show that up to 75% of Americans experience some level of dental related fear and 20% avoid dental care because of it. If you have a fear of dental work, we want you to know that making you feel comfortable and safe at our office is our first priority.
