Technically “root canal” is not the name of the procedure but refers instead simply to the natural cavity found in the center of the tooth. The pulp or pulp chamber is the soft area inside the root canal. The tooth’s nerve lies within the root canal. Occasionally, the internal soft tissue (or pulp) of the tooth becomes infected and can result in a serious infection if left untreated.
In fact, the procedure that laymen refer to as a “root canal” is actually known as a pulpectomy to dentists. A pulpectomy is an endodontic treatment to cure an infected root canal. In the old days, damage to the core of a tooth usually meant it had to be removed. Today, however, a “root canal” procedure (or pulpectomy) disinfects and refills the inside of the tooth, thus preventing pain and limiting damage to the tooth.

I really enjoyed my visit to the dentist. I haven't been in years but I must say it was an amazing experience. Everyone there treats you like family and they also take their time explaining what they will do before they start and thru the process. I have a lot more work to be done but I trust that I'm in the right hands! ?Thanks Amores
My husband has been going to this office for years. I am not a fan of dentists and have stayed away for years. I had to have a tooth extracted and they got me in quicker than ANY dentists I could find in like a 20 mile radius. I had the most positive experience with all the staff from the first phone call until I walked out the door from my appointment. All of the staff is very friendly, Dr. Rivera has an AWESOME bedside manner from start to finish. The entire time she was working on me she asked me how I was doing, if I had any pain, if I needed anything.Most dental offices I had been to in the past were all about selling me x,y, and z. They actually made me feel like they cared about me and focused on the health of my teeth. I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone needing a dentist!
It's been a while since I've gone to the dentist. Just thinking of going to the dentist makes me nervous, especially since it's been a long time coming. I decided to go on Yelp and find a good dentist in my area. I am so glad I bumped into Amores Dental Care, while doing my research. Just reading the rave reviews I had to go and get my teeth checked with them. I made sure they took my insurance and surely enough they did. As a new patient, I was not disappointed at all. Great experience overall. Dr. Amores and his staff are kind and professional. Great customer care on their end, no doubt. The hygienist Albert was awesome. He makes you understand thoroughly on the procedures that will be done. I got a deep cleaning with him and he puts on relaxing music to alleviate any nervousness you might feel. And surely I was nervous but with his assurance everything came out smoothly.I am glad I found this place and now I can officially say I am no longer scared of going to the dentist lol.Highly recommend to everyone.
