Root Canal

A tooth’s nerve can die and become infected, often because of a deep, untreated cavity or a damaged tooth. Infections can go largely unnoticed for quite some time because of the body’s immune system, but symptoms do eventually materialize, often in the form of a painful abscess.

During root canal therapy, the nerve is removed in order to alleviate pain or discomfort, after which you’ll only need a crown instead of a complete replacement.
