Dental Root Canal Treatment

Saving Infected Teeth with Root Canal Therapy
Teeth with damaged or infected roots used to require extraction, which can cause problems and should be avoided when possible. The good news is that we are experienced in advanced root canal therapy. 

A root canal is a technique to repair a tooth by removing the pulp chamber in a tooth and replacing it with a filling material. This is often needed when dental decay reaches the nerve of the tooth (or the tooth has become infected), and a regular filling won’t be suitable. Not too long ago, this situation would have needed an extraction. When dentists began performing root canals, they were dreaded by patients, and the root canal has gotten a reputation as something to avoid. However, with modern anesthetics and technology, root canals are generally manageable.
