What is Root Canal Therapy?

Root canal therapy is needed when a tooth’s pulp—the soft tissue containing nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue—becomes infected or inflamed. For example, this often happens due to deep decay, a cracked tooth, or trauma. Therefore, our skilled dentist performs several steps:

• Accessing: We gently access the tooth’s pulp chamber.

• Removing: The infected or inflamed tissue is carefully removed.

• Cleaning: We thoroughly clean and disinfect the entire root canal system.

• Sealing: The space is filled and sealed to prevent any future infection.

Importantly, after the therapy, Dr. Zuckerman typically restores the tooth with a dental crown. We do this to protect it from fracture and fully restore its function and appearance. This is done to protect it from fracture and restore its full function and appearance.
