Root Canal Therapy

Teeth have root canals from the time they first merge. These canals are filled with a network of nerves and tissue known as pulp. Sometimes the pulp can become inflamed or infected. When teeth are growing, pulp helps to nourish them but as teeth mature the pulp can safely be removed. This is done in root canal treatment. The procedure can save teeth from eventually being lost or having to be removed. Once the infected pulp is removed, a crown is placed over the tooth. This type of restoration is often permanent.
