Root Canal
A common procedure we perform is referred to as root canal. This procedure eliminates infections in a tooth which cause tooth decay. With today's modern technologies and treatments, we do our best to make the process as painless as possible.
Technically, a root canal is called endodontic therapy. When the pulp of the tooth (or the part with blood vessels and nerves) becomes infected with some outside microbial infection, it is necessary to clean out the infection and protect the remainder of the tooth. Following the procedure, the tooth is structurally sound and the root remains sound.
The best protection from the sorts of infection require root canals is to do the everyday cleaning that keeps the tooth healthy. Brushing, flossing and regular cleanings to eliminate factors that decay the enamel of a tooth will keep your teeth and gums clean. This is the best thing you can do to keep infection away.
