Teeth with damaged or infected roots used to require extraction, which can create a lot of problems and should be avoided when possible. The good news is that we are highly experienced in advanced root canal therapy. A root canal is a technique to repair a tooth by removing the tooth’s pulp chamber and filling it with a filling material. This is often needed when dental decay reaches the nerve of the tooth (or the tooth has become infected), and a standard filling won’t be suitable.
Not too many years ago, the situation mentioned above would have required a tooth extraction. When dentists began performing root canals, they were quite dreaded, and the root canal has gained a reputation as something to avoid. However, with modern anesthetics and technology, root canals are usually manageable.
