Endodontic Treatment / Root Canal Therapy
Preserving Teeth with Root Canal Therapy
Endodontic treatment, commonly referred to as root canal therapy, is designed to save a tooth that has been severely damaged or infected. Inside each tooth is a soft tissue known as the pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels. When this pulp becomes inflamed or infected due to deep decay, cracks, or injury, it can cause significant discomfort.
Root canal therapy involves carefully removing the damaged pulp, cleaning the root canals, and then sealing the space to prevent future infection. This process can relieve pain and preserve the tooth’s function. We use modern techniques to ensure the procedure is as comfortable and efficient as possible. With proper care, a tooth that has undergone root canal therapy can last a lifetime.
If you’re experiencing tooth pain or sensitivity, we’re here to help you avoid further complications while preserving your natural smile.
