Root canal therapy is used to treat infection or inflammation inside a tooth. By removing damaged tissue and sealing the tooth, we eliminate pain and preserve the natural tooth structure. This treatment allows patients to avoid an extraction while protecting the tooth long-term.

Why a Root Canal?

The largest reason to get a root canal is to save the tooth from extraction while keeping the tooth and your body healthy.
