Root canal treatment involves the removal of infected or inflamed nerve tissue from inside the tooth, followed by the cleaning and filling of the root canals with special materials. When the pulp tissue is damaged due to deep decay, cracks, trauma, or advanced gum disease, root canal therapy allows the tooth to be saved rather than extracted.

Thanks to modern equipment and digital imaging technologies, root canal treatments are now more comfortable, faster, and more successful than ever. When performed at the right time, a root canal can preserve the natural structure of the tooth for many years.
