Endodontic Treatments (Root Canal Therapies)

Our teeth are meant to very last a lifetime. Sometimes, on the other hand, damage occurs to a tooth and the inside of the tooth becomes infected. This infection damages the soft tissue of the tooth. Left untreated, the damaged pulp can cause infection that will spoil the bone around the tooth and reason swelling and pain. If the damaged tooth is gone untreated it becomes infected. Your dentist or a dental expert called an Endodontist can have to perform an endodontic treatment (often called Root Canal Therapy) to save it. Endodontic treatment contains opening the tooth, cleaning, removing the damaged pulp, shaping, filling and sealing the tooth.
