Saving Your Natural Teeth with Precision Care
Severe tooth pain, sensitivity, or swelling may indicate that the pulp inside your tooth is infected or inflamed. Root canal therapy is a highly effective treatment that removes the damaged pulp, cleans and disinfects the inside of the tooth, and seals it to prevent further issues—all while preserving your natural tooth structure. At Perfect Smile Dental Care, we use modern techniques to make the process comfortable and efficient.
With the skill of Dr. Tasneem Nabelsi, Dr. Maissa Agha, and Dr. Adrien Hamedi, every root canal is performed with precision to relieve pain, stop infection, and restore oral health.
