Root Canal Therapy

Having a root canal conjures up anxiety, fear and thoughts that make you want to avoid the dentist all together!

Root canal therapy is an effective way to relieve pain, save a tooth and is often no more uncomfortable than a regular filling.

During root canal therapy, the infected pulp is removed from inside the tooth, the root canals are cleaned, disinfected and shaped, and a filling is placed to seal the space. A crown is often needed to restore the tooth to proper form and function.
