Treatment
Root Canals
Root canal treatment is necessary when the nerve of a tooth becomes inflamed or infected due to deep cavities, trauma, or fractures. During the procedure, the dentist removes the affected nerve and cleans the inside of the tooth before sealing it to prevent future infections. This treatment allows the tooth to be saved and avoids extraction. Although the idea of a root canal might sound concerning, the procedure relieves pain and restores the tooth’s health. With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, it is possible to prevent the need for a root canal.
