Root Canal Therapy is necessary when a tooth has sustained damage to the nerve area. It is also necessary if there is an infection inside the root of the tooth. Modern Root Canals are very different than they were in the old days, and typically pain free procedures.

The procedure involves removing the infected or inflamed pulp tissue from inside the tooth, cleaning and disinfecting the root canals, and then sealing them to prevent further infection

Root canals is highly successful in saving teeth that would otherwise need to be extracted. It relieves pain and discomfort caused by infection or inflammation and allows patients to preserve their natural teeth.
