Root Canals

A root canal treats a tooth that has become infected or badly decayed. Without a root canal the tissue surrounding the tooth can become infected and cause an abcess to form or other problems.

The main objective in Root Canal Therapy is to remove and disinfect the nerve canal inside the tooth. Disinfecting and sealing the root structure of the tooth gives your body the ability to fight off any remaining bacteria that leaked into your jawbone. After a Root Canal, back teeth will require a crown, this is due to the high amount of force we place on our back teeth and the high chance of fracture in a root canaled tooth.
