ROOT CANAL

A Root Canal, known as Endodontic Therapy, is a treatment used to remedy an infection that has arisen in the nerve of your tooth. A root canal will eliminate the infection by cleaning out the inside of the tooth and sealing it so a new infection cannot occur.

Root canal treatment can save you from tooth loss and a significant amount of pain. This treatment will enable you to keep a healthy smile. Depending on the severity of your case, treatment may be completed in multiple visits.

Why Do I Need Root Canal Therapy?

If you do not pursue treatment, your tooth can continue to decay to the point of being fractured, broken, or even falling out. Not treating an infected tooth will ultimately result in serious problems that can have a substantial effect on your smile and oral health as a whole.

If you have questions about root canal therapy, why you need it, or what it involves, the best option is to speak with your dentist. They will be able to explain the unique circumstances of your case and break down all of the potential treatment options that are available to you so that your smile can return to being happy and healthy once again.
