When a tooth's pulp (blood supply and
nerve) becomes infected or inflamed, root canal treatment
may be the only way to save the tooth and prevent infection.
It is possible for a tooth to die without causing pain–35%
of the time. The other 65% of the patients will know
without a doubt that there is a serious problem developing.
Root canal treatment consists of removing the infected
or dead pulp that lies within the root of the tooth
and sealing the canal space to prevent infection of
the bone around the tooth. We will help you with the
treatment of most teeth requiring root canals, and we
use the services of an endodontic specialist for all
complicated cases requiring specialized treatment.
