What is Root Canal Therapy?

Root canal therapy is a procedure performed when a tooth’s pulp—the soft tissue containing nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue—becomes infected or inflamed. This can happen due to deep decay, a cracked tooth, or trauma. During the procedure, our skilled dentist carefully:

1. Accesses the tooth’s pulp chamber.

2. Removes the infected or inflamed tissue.

3. Cleans and disinfects the entire root canal system.

4. Fills and seals the space to prevent future infection.

After a root canal therapy is completed, the tooth is typically restored with a dental crown to protect it from fracture and restore its full function and appearance.
