Root Canals

A root canal treatment is required to treat infected tissues in the tooth. The tissue is called pulp or nerve tissue. This tissue becomes infected and forms a dental abscess when tooth decay is left untreated or as a result of injury.   

Root canal therapy preserves the tooth by removing any diseased or dying tissue. 

Follow up treatments - Crowns or Bridges - are done 3-6 months later to allow the tooth to heal.
