A root canal is a dental treatment option that is usually recommended in an effort to save a patient’s tooth from needing to be extracted. When decay, damage or even infection is ignored in a tooth, it can eventually reach the tooth root canal/pulp, leading to a wide range of symptoms and complications. During a root canal, your endodontist creates a tiny hole in the affected tooth, allowing them to properly access the root canal of the tooth. Your endodontist will then remove any infection, decay or bacteria present and completely sanitize the area. Once completely cleaned and sanitized, the affected tooth will then be sealed.  Read More>

That way all you can see or use is the dental crown.  Read More>
