Root Canal Therapy
When most people hear the words “root canal” they generally think pain. It is generally perceived as a painful dental procedure that must be avoided at all costs. In reality, living with infected root pulp - the nerve tissue inside a tooth - is way more painful. Untreated root canals can not only damage the tooth but damage the bone surrounding the tooth. Eventually, if the infection is not taken care of, the tooth may need to be extracted.
It is important to understand what a root canal is, and why it may be necessary for your oral health. That can help alleviate some of the fear associated with this dental procedure.
