What is a Root Canal?

A root canal is needed when tissue becomes diseased or damaged due to decay, deep fillings, trauma/ fracture or periodontal disease. While some people experience pain or other symptoms of the damage, others may have no discomfort at all. Endodontists are trained in advanced nonsurgical and surgical skills to alleviate pain and eliminate potential sources of infection to save the damaged tooth. They remove the damaged tissue from inside the root canals of a tooth and replace it with a filling material. Not every tooth can be saved, but the chances of success are very good using today's techniques.
