Saving Teeth through Root Canal TherapyTeeth with damaged or infected roots used to require extraction, which can create a lot of problems and should be avoided if possible. The good news is that we are highly experienced with advanced root canal therapy.
A root canal is a technique to repair a tooth by removing the pulp chamber and replacing it with a filling material. This may be necessary when dental decay reaches the nerve of the tooth (or the tooth is infected), when a simple filling isn’t a good option.
Not too long ago, the situation mentioned above would have required an extraction. When dentists began performing root canals, they were quite dreaded, and the root canal received a reputation as something to avoid. However, using modern anesthetics and technology, root canals are a manageable procedure.
