A Root Canal Treatment (also known as endodontic therapy, endodontic treatment, or root canal therapy) becomes necessary when the core of the tooth is so infected that it can not be saved. There is no need to fear a root canal procedure like in the past. Modern technology and anesthetics make the procedure virtually pain-free. We perform a root canal procedure to remove the core of the tooth but preserve the outer structure. Following the root canal treatment the best materials are used to close the tooth.
Saving the natural tooth with root canal treatment has many advantages:
- Efficient chewing
- Normal biting force and sensation
- Natural appearance
- Protects other teeth from excessive wear or strain
