There’s no need to be worried if your dentist prescribes a root canal procedure to treat a damaged or diseased tooth. Millions of teeth are treated and saved this way each year, relieving pain and making teeth healthy again. Root canal treatments are done to remove diseased or infected pulp inside a tooth. We will hollow out and clean the inner chambers of your tooth and fill them. In some cases before finishing the treatment the tooth is cleaned and dressed and patients return in 2 to 4 weeks for finishing the root canal treatment.
