Root Canal Treatment
Save infected teeth and end toothache without extraction.
Our teeth are meant to last a lifetime. Sometimes, however, damage occurs to a tooth (often from a deep cavity or an injury that causes a tooth to crack) and the inside of the tooth becomes infected. This infection damages the pulp of the tooth, the network of blood vessels and nerves inside.
Left untreated, the damaged pulp can cause infection that will damage the bone around the tooth and cause swelling and extreme pain. If the damaged tooth becomes infected, your dentist may have to perform an endodontic treatment (often called Root Canal Therapy) to save it.
A root canal is a treatment to repair and save a badly damaged or infected tooth. The procedure involves removing the damaged area of the tooth (the pulp), cleaning and disinfecting it and then filling and sealing it. The common causes affecting the pulp are a cracked tooth, a deep cavity, repeated dental treatment to the tooth or trauma.
Often times, badly damaged teeth after undergoing Root Canal Treatment will need a cap / crown for the long term survival of the teeth.
