What is Root Canal or Endodontic Therapy?
Root Canal Therapy is performed when the soft inner tissue of the tooth (the pulp) has been damaged, usually through decay or physical trauma. Treatment consists of removing the pulp and then shaping, cleaning, filling and sealing those canals within the root.
Because the pulp has lost its ability to heal itself, endodontic therapy should be started as soon as a diagnosis has been made, at which time most teeth can be saved. If treatment is delayed, serious conditions such as severe toothache, fracture or increased infection of the tooth and gums or even tooth loss can occur.
