Root Canal Therapy Helps Treat Infection Inside The Tooth
The inner part of a tooth contains soft tissue called the dental pulp, which includes nerves and blood vessels. When this tissue becomes inflamed or infected due to deep decay, cracks, trauma or leaking fillings, root canal therapy may be recommended.
Root canal treatment removes the infected pulp tissue and carefully cleans the root canals. The canals are then shaped, disinfected and sealed to prevent bacteria from re entering the tooth.
After the root canal procedure, the tooth can continue to function normally. In many cases a dental crown or onlay is recommended to strengthen the treated tooth and support long term durability.
