When we recommend a root canal, we are trying to save one of your teeth. A root canal is needed after a tooth has been injured in a way that has introduced bacteria into the soft, live, inner tissues of the tooth. Once this happens, the tooth is compromised.
How does bacteria make it all the way into the inner part of the tooth? Basically, through decay or trauma. A cavity that goes deep enough will reach these soft tissues. And a deep crack or fracture will, too.
We will open your tooth just like we would to prepare it for a filling. We then clean out all the soft tissue inside and smooth the canal. We then fill this canal with sterile material and close your tooth. We recommend placing a crown over this tooth to keep it nice and strong.
