What Is A Root Canal?

When a deep cavity or fracture reaches the inner core of your tooth, the pulp, or nerve, inside your tooth can become infected. It’s important to eradicate the infection before it spreads any further, and treatment is usually either root canal therapy or a tooth extraction.

During a root canal, Dr. Davis cleans out the infected tissue, fills the canal with a man-made substance, and seals the tooth with a crown. With root canal therapy, your tooth and its natural root will remain in place, benefiting your jawbone and total oral function.

Modern methods and technologies have made root canal therapy a quicker and more comfortable process.
