Root Canal Therapy

Years ago a tooth with a diseased or injured nerve and blood supply (known as "pulp") was removed. Today dentists can save your tooth with a procedure called Root Canal Therapy.

Treatment often involves one or more visits. The diseased pulp is removed, the pulp chamber and root system are cleaned and then filled, sealing the end of the root. The final step involves placing a crown or filling on the tooth to strengthen and protect the tooth structure and seal the root canal systems from the top of the tooth.
