What is a Root Canal?

A root canal treatment is used to repair and save a badly decayed and infected tooth. The procedure can be done in 2-5 sittings and involves cleaning of the infection from the crown to the root of the tooth. The tooth roots and crown are then restored. Most of the root canal treated teeth require capping to prolong the life of the tooth.

Saving your natural teeth is the very best option, if possible. Your natural teeth allow you to eat a wide variety of foods necessary to maintain proper nutrition. The root canal procedure is the treatment of choice.
