When the nerve inside a tooth becomes inflamed, it can cause intense pain and, if left untreated, may lead to the nerve dying, which can cause an abscess to form. This painful abscess results from the dying nerve tissue accumulating at the base of the tooth.

What is Root Canal Treatment? Root canal treatment is a highly effective way to remove the infected nerve, preventing the need for tooth extraction. During the procedure, we remove the nerve, clean out the root chamber, and fill the space with a special material to help the area heal and prevent further infection.

Specialist Care for Complex Cases While all of our dentists are skilled in performing root canal treatments, some cases can be more complex. In these instances, we may refer you to an Endodontist or a dentist with special training in root canal therapy. These specialists use advanced equipment, materials, and microscopes to achieve the best results.

Protecting Your Tooth After Treatment Since teeth treated with root canals become more brittle over time, your dentist may recommend an onlay or crown. These help spread the biting forces across the tooth, reducing the risk of fractures and keeping your treated tooth strong and functional for years to come.
