A root canal is performed to cleanse and protect infected tooth roots. When left untreated, infected roots can cause a tooth to require an extraction. Find out how our dentist performs root canals and how we can help you seek care.

the blood stream. A root canal

ABOUT
ROOT
CANALS
Pulp is very vulnerable, so an
infection in your root canal can kill
it. This causes inflammation, pain,
and pressure, and can lead to a
tooth requiring an extraction.

5. Anesthetic is
administered and
the tooth in need
of a root canal
is surrounded by a
dental dam to keep
the area sterile.
STEP 1: STEP 2: STEP 3: STEP 4:
Our dentist will access
the interior of your
tooth in order to treat
the pulp chambers and
roots.
The infected tissue
is removed and the
pulp chambers are
cleaned, disinfected,
filled, and sealed to
ensure they don't
become infected
again.
A dental
restoration, like a
crown (permanent
filling that looks
and functions like a
real tooth) is placed
over your treated
tooth.
