Root Canal Therapy

Problem: Each tooth contains a soft inner tissue called pulp, which houses the tooth’s blood supply and nerves. When bacteria enter the pulp due to a deep cavity or fracture, it can cause infection, leading to pain and the risk of tooth loss.
Solution: A root canal removes the infected pulp, stopping the spread of bacteria and preserving the tooth. The space inside the tooth is cleaned, disinfected, and sealed with a rubber-like material to prevent reinfection. To restore strength and function, the tooth is covered with a protective crown, which also enhances its appearance. Root canal therapy has a high success rate, allowing patients to keep their natural teeth for years to come.

Alternatives

The only alternative to root canal therapy is tooth extraction, which may require a bridge, implant, or denture to restore function and appearance.
