Root canals
Relieve pain and save an infected tooth instead of losing it.
A root canal treats and saves a tooth that is badly decayed or infected. The damaged or infected pulp inside the tooth is removed, the canals are cleaned and disinfected, and then they are filled and sealed to prevent further infection.
Root canals are usually done to relieve pain and restore the tooth’s function so it can stay in place instead of being pulled. Afterward, the tooth is often restored with a crown or filling for added strength and protection.
Root canals are highly effective. With proper care, a treated tooth can last a lifetime and keep its natural look and function.
