Root Canal Treatment

Preserving teeth affected by infection or inflammation

Understanding your care

Preserving teeth affected by infection or inflammation

Root canal treatment may be needed when the tissue inside a tooth becomes severely inflamed or infected because of deep decay, cracks, trauma, or other causes.

During treatment, the affected tissue is removed and the root canal system is carefully cleaned, disinfected, and sealed.
