Root Canal Therapy (endodontic therapy)
Root canal therapy is a procedure used to treat an infected tooth and save a tooth from extraction. Fortunately, modern techniques and anesthesia make root canal therapy more effective and comfortable than ever.
Root canal therapy involves the removal of the infected pulp tissue (often referred to as the nerve) within the root, then disinfection and filling of the root canals to prevent bacteria from entering and growing in the canal system. Usually a dental crown is placed on the top of the tooth to seal the entry site and return the tooth to full function and beauty after the procedure.
