Root Canal Treatment

By Dr Tony Lu

What happens during a root canal?

The infected pulp and nerves in the tooth root are removed, the tooth insides are cleaned and shaped, and the space is filled and sealed. A crown is placed on the tooth to protect and restore it.

Most teeth can be treated endodontically

When treatment is not effective, surgery may save the tooth. Technical advancements have made these possible.
