A “root canal,” or endodontic therapy, is a procedure in order to save a tooth that is infected and would otherwise require extraction. There are many reasons why teeth can become infected, including: cavities, previous fillings, crowns, cracks, trauma and extreme wear.

A toothache can be one of the most uncomfortable experiences you endure.  Even a small cavity left untreated will eventually extend to the nerve tissue.  An endodontic treatment involves the cleaning the root canal system.  Doing so will preserve your tooth and avoid extraction.

What is a Root Canal?
Endodontic therapy involves removing diseased nerve tissues inside of your tooth so that infection can be controlled.

After the canal is cleaned and medicated, Dr. Labrada seals the tooth off. Once the root canal treatment has been finished, a crown is needed to complete the treatment.
