Root Canal Therapy
WHAT IS A ROOT CANAL?
As endodontic specialists, it is our main focus to help repair and save our patient's natural tooth or teeth. Root canal therapy is needed when a tooth becomes decayed and/or infected with bacteria.
During traditional root canal therapy, a dentist or endodontist first numbs the patient, then drills into the tooth to allow access to the pulp. Once the tooth is “opened”, a cleaning solution is introduced into the root canal space using various files to disinfect the tooth.
