Root Canal Therapy
Once upon a time, if you had a tooth with a diseased nerve, you’d probably lose that tooth. Today, with a special dental procedure called root canal therapy, you can save that tooth. Inside each tooth is the pulp which provides nutrients and nerves to the tooth, it runs like a thread down through the root. When the pulp is diseased or injured, the pulp tissue dies. If you don’t remove it, your tooth could get infected, and you could lose it. After the dentist removes the pulp, the root canal is cleaned and sealed off to protect it. Most of the time, a root canal procedure is relatively simple with little or no discomfort. Best of all, it can save your tooth and your smile. Don’t hesitate, contact us today if you have any questions about our root canal procedure or book an appointment for a consultation with our root canal dentist!
