WHAT DOES THE TREATMENT INVOLVE?
Root canals are common procedures and can help save your tooth from extraction.
The decay is removed and an opening is made through the crown of the tooth into the pulp chamber.
The pulp is removed and the root canals are cleaned and shaped.
The root canals and pulp chamber are filled.
A metal or plastic rod or post may be placed in the root canal to help retain the core (filling) material, which supports the restoration (crown).
The tooth is then restored with a crown or filling.
