WHAT IS ROOT CANAL? NOTHING TO BE SCARED OFF

A root canal is a dental procedure in which the dentist cleans the inside of a tooth when the pulp in the tooth has become infected. This could happen due to: a tooth abscess, severe tooth decay, facial/mouth/tooth trauma, cracked tooth and/or filling. Root canal treatment is the entire process of diagnosing the need for, conducting the procedure, and doing follow-up dental care to reduce our pain, save our teeth, and improve our dental health. The goal of root canal therapy is to save the tooth, which means we can get back to enjoying the food we love without pain. The entire process often includes a few visits, and with today’s technology is faster and more effective than ever before.
