Root Canal Treatment
Treatment for teeth affected by deep infection or damage, saving the natural tooth.
What is root canal treatment?
Root canal treatment removes infected pulp from inside the tooth, cleans the canal and seals it to relieve pain and save the tooth.
Who is a candidate?
Usually for patients with persistent tooth pain, sensitivity or deep decay reaching the pulp.
How does the procedure work?
The affected area is numbed, the infected pulp is removed, the canal is cleaned and sealed, and a crown is often placed later.
