One way a tooth can be saved is with a procedure called root canal treatment, also known as endodontic treatment.

Endodontics is a specialized area of dentistry focused on treating disease or injury to the dental pulp and dough. Our dental specialists with advanced training in root canal treatment are experts in saving your natural teeth. Using state-of-the-art technologies like microscopes and digital imaging, they can treat you quickly and comfortably.

Let us take a step-by-step look at a modern root canal procedure. Inside the tooth, under the white enamel, there is a hard tissue called dentin. Inside the dentin, there is a soft tissue called the pulp. The pulp contains the tooth’s nerves and blood vessels; it extends from the crown of the tooth into the roots of your teeth. If the pulp becomes inflamed or infected, your endodontist will remove it, relieving your pain or discomfort.
