Root Canals

SAVING TEETH – FROM THE INSIDE OUT

Sometimes a tooth becomes infected. This often happens when a tooth becomes damaged from a traumatic injury, when a deep cavity has gone untreated, or when a cracked or broken tooth has not been fixed. When this infection reaches the pulp, or nerve of the tooth, it causes pain and swelling.

A root canal is often the best approach to preserving the infected tooth.  Also known as endodontic treatment, this process involves:

  • Accessing the area of the infected tooth
  • A gentle removal of the infected nerve tissue
  • Thorough cleaning of the inside of the tooth and root
  • Filling the tooth with a medicated material
  • Placing a temporary filling in the tooth until a permanent restoration can be placed


Depending on the extent of the procedure, pain medication may be prescribed to be used in the days following the treatment.  Following the healing process, a dental crown will be placed as the final step in restoring the affected tooth.
