Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy (endodontics) is generally the only option to save a
tooth that has severe decay that exposes the nerve (pulp) or has become
infected. The diseased pulp tissue is removed using small instruments
that will fit into the tiny canals of the root of the tooth The
cleansed and disinfected canals are permanently sealed with a rubber
filling called gutta percha Without the nerve, the tooth can become
dry, brittle and easy to break. It is normally necessary to install a
crown over the tooth to properly restore it and ensure its strength.
