What is Root Canal Therapy for?
Even a small cavity or a crack that is practically invisible is still large enough to allow bacteria to penetrate your tooth and infect the pulp at its center. That pulp contains all of the tissue, nerves and blood vessels that keep your tooth healthy. However, your tooth can still exist with just the dentin and enamel if that pulp is removed. But it the infected pulp is not removed, the infection can cause pain, swelling and other problems for your smile.
Our dentists can remove the infected pulp and help keep your smile intact with root canal therapy. This treatment removes the infected pulp and cleans the pulp cavity. The pulp is then replaced with a medicated material and the tooth is sealed. A common final step is to protect the tooth with a dental crown.
