Root Canals
Save the structure of your tooth
Root canal (endodontic) treatment treats the soft inside tissue of the tooth known as pulp.
During root canal treatment, an opening is made in the top of the tooth and the inflamed or infected pulp is carefully removed. The inside of the root canal is cleaned and shaped and then filled with a bio-compatible material and sealed.
A temporary filling is placed until your dentist can place a crown on the tooth to prevent breakage and to restore it to full function.
