About Root Canals

A root canal is a dental treatment option that is usually recommended in an effort to save a patient’s tooth from needing to be extracted. When decay, damage, or even infection is ignored in a tooth, it can eventually reach the tooth root canal/pulp, leading to a wide range of symptoms and complications. During a root canal, your endodontist creates a tiny hole in the affected tooth, allowing them to properly access the root canal of the tooth. Your endodontist will then remove any infection, decay, or bacteria present and completely sanitize the area. Once completely cleaned and sanitized, the affected tooth will then be sealed.

Following a root canal, it is recommended to place a dental crown. A dental crown can improve the appearance, strength, and even function of the affected tooth following the root canal.

Why Root Canal Treatment?

Left untreated, decayed, infected, or damaged root canals can become a serious problem, resulting in lost teeth and even the risk of sepsis (a potentially fatal infection of the blood).
