There is an area at the core of your tooth that is referred to as the “pulp” which is where blood and nutrients circulate to keep the tooth healthy, the nerve of the tooth is also housed there. When the pulp is damaged, it leaves the tooth vulnerable to infection and can cause pain, swelling, bone damage and loss of the tooth.
That’s when a root canal may be suggested to prevent further damage.
Root Canal Treatment allows your tooth to be saved and eliminates the need for more costly procedures such as dental implants.
