What Is a Root Canal and Why Might You Need One?
An internal tooth infection or damage can be treated with a root canal. An abscess may develop if a cavity or other damage permits germs to enter the inner pulp, which can be extremely painful.
If left untreated, the infection can spread, potentially causing more serious health issues. A root canal removes the infected tissue, cleans the area, and seals the tooth to prevent further damage, saving your natural tooth.
How We Ease the Root Canal Experience
We understand that the idea of a root canal can be intimidating. That’s why we focus on creating a calming environment and offering personalized care. Here are a few ways we make the process easier for you:
