Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy is needed when the nerve of a tooth is affected by decay or infection. In order to save the tooth, all the living tissue inside the tooth, including pulp and nerves, is removed and the resulting space is filled with special medicated dental materials. A crown is then placed over the top to restore the tooth to its full function.
Root canal therapy can be used to treat a wide variety of dental conditions, including cavities, cracked teeth, and infections. The procedure is typically safe and effective, and it can help to preserve your natural smile. If you think you may need root canal therapy, contact Bellwood Family Dental to discuss your options.
