Root Canals

Although you do your best to keep your teeth clean and healthy, there are times when sensitivity and pain reach a point that may require more extensive treatment. This is when a root canal is needed. This process involves the removal of the nerve from the inside of the tooth and roots in order to relieve pain. When the root canal is complete, a crown will then be added to complete the final restoration of the tooth. The alternative to a root canal is an extraction. However, when the tooth can be saved, it is always the first option given.
