Root canal therapy is a treatment used to save a tooth that has been damaged by infection or decay. During the procedure, we carefully remove the infected pulp inside the tooth, clean and the root canals, and fill and seal the space to prevent further infection. This helps relieve pain, restore function, and preserve your natural tooth. In some cases the old tooth will need to be topped with a crown. With modern techniques and local anesthesia, root canal therapy is a safe and comfortable procedure that can help you maintain a healthy smile.
