If left untreated, a cavity can lead to an infection that damages the soft tissues and nerves inside the tooth. A root canal can rescue your tooth in such a case. This procedure involves removing the infected tissue, cleaning your tooth, and sealing it to prevent further infection.
Root canal therapy is a procedure used to treat an infection or inflamed pulp within a tooth. The pulp is the innermost layer of the teeth that contains the blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissue. It extends from the crown of the tooth to the tip of the roots. After we’ve determined you have a root canal infection, we will schedule your root canal as soon as possible. We know how painful tooth infections can be, and we don’t want you to wait to get the relief you need. We will talk with you about your symptoms and diagnoses, and we may also take X-rays or special imaging to get a closer look at your tooth.
