Root canals
Root canals are necessary when a cavity that has been left untreated becomes larger. An infection can form at the base of the root canal and cause an abscess (infection). This abscess is usually painful and will have to be removed. The root canal process involves cleaning out the infected root, medicating the canal, then filling and sealing the canal.

Our treatment plan
The root canal treatment process involves cleaning out the infected root, medicating the canal, then filling and sealing the canal. Generally speaking, the only alternative to root canal therapy is extracting the tooth.
Follow up
After the root canal, the tooth will need to be permanently restored. A tooth that has had a root canal becomes fragile and can break easily unless properly restored by your dentist.
