Root Canal Therapy

When a tooth hurts, the nerve could be inflamed or the tooth could be infected. It is important to treat the tooth with an endodontic procedure to remove the nerve from the tooth, shaping the canal and filling each canal so that healing may occur. This also prevents the spread of infection to the surrounding teeth and gums.

If is often recommended placing a crown on the tooth following root canal treatment to help better protect your tooth and also to restore chewing function.

Root canal treatment is highly successful and can last many years.
