ENDODONTICS ( ROOT CANAL TREATMENT).

Each tooth contains the pulp. This provides nutrients and nerves to the tooth. It runs through the root like a thread. Occasionally the pulp tissue dies or becomes injured which meant losing the tooth. Now with root canal treatment means teeth that may have been lost a long time ago can now be saved.

WHAT WILL MY DENTIST DO?

The nerves inside the roots of the teeth, which sometimes become infected, are removed. The root canal is then cleaned disinfected and sealed to protect it. A crown may be placed on top of the root to improve the appearance of the tooth. This treatment becomes technically more difficult the further back in the mouth a dentist has to work
