Root Canals
Endodontic treatment is commonly referred to as root canal treatment. A root canal involves removing diseased tooth pulp from the inside of the tooth. This procedure may be necessary if the nerve has been damaged due to trauma, deep decay, or a deep filling. After the dentist removes the infected pulp, he will clean out the root canals and fill the tooth to prevent infection. Depending on the extent of the damage, the dentist may recommend covering the tooth with a custom crown. The crown will strengthen the root canal tooth and protect it from future breakage.
