Cecil County's Premiere Family Dental Practice
ROOT CANAL DENTISTRY
Root Canal Treatment
A root canal is a procedure that is used to save or repair a damaged tooth. Whether the tooth has become severely infected or decayed, a root canal can prevent further infection and the formation of an abscess.
During a root canal, we remove the nerve and pulp from the tooth. Then, we clean out the inside of the tooth and sealed it. Once the tooth pops through the gums, the nerve of th tooth is no longer essential to the health or function of the teeth, but rather it provides the tooth’s sensations. We can remove the nerve without altering the function of the tooth.
We need to remove the nerve tissue and/or pulp of the tooth if it becomes damaged. This can cause bacteria to multiply, which can then cause an infection or abscess. The damage can occur from the severe decay, repeated dental procedures on the same tooth, chips or cracks, large fillings or face trauma.
