Root canal therapy offers lasting relief while preserving the health and function of your natural tooth.
Targeted Treatment for Infection
Root canal therapy is a dental treatment used to repair and save a tooth that has become infected or severely damaged instead of removing it. When the soft tissue inside a tooth (called the pulp) becomes inflamed or infected due to deep decay, cracks, or trauma, a root canal removes the infected material, cleans the interior of the tooth, and seals it to protect against further infection.
If you have pain, sensitivity, swelling, or an abscess due to infection inside the tooth, our dentist can recommend root canal therapy to remove the infected pulp, disinfect the inside of the tooth, and seal the space to prevent bacteria from returning. Afterward, the treated tooth is typically restored with a permanent filling or a crown to protect and strengthen it for long-term use.
