Extractions & Root Canals

When at tooth is irreparably damaged, it may require a root canal or extraction. Dr. Wallin, Dr. Haglund, and Dr. Yee-Yick and our dental team can help you determine which option is best for your overall oral health.

A root canal is an endodontic procedure that involves removing damaged pulp from within the tooth. We replace the extracted pulp with a manmade substance to deter the risk of infection. If a root canal can save your tooth, we will recommend it as a conservative procedure to maintain your bite and the appearance of your smile. However, when a root canal will not help, a tooth may require extraction.

At Dental Health of Maplewood, we prioritize patient comfort. Should you require a root canal or extraction, we will use mild oral sedation to keep you comfortable and relieve any anxiety you may experience. Modern technology and medicine make root canals and extractions just another dental procedure. They are no longer feared as painful or stressful. You can learn more about root canals in our patient library.

If you have been told that you need a tooth extraction or root canal, it won't hurt to get a second opinion. Call Dental Health of Maplewood to schedule a consultation. We have helped patients across the Twin Cities, including Saint Paul, North Saint Paul, White Bear Lake, and Oakdale enjoy restored oral health with root canals and extractions.
