Signs You Need Root Canal Therapy
Regular professional examination and cleaning can control the presence and extent of tooth decay, and reduce your chance of requiring a root canal.
Root Canal Treatment Process
The process involves thorough cleaning and disinfection of the infected area. After this, the root canals are filled with special materials and sealed with a filling. The dentist may recommend that you give your tooth a few days to heal. After the healing period, a crown is fixed above the treated area. This crown is designed to offer strength to your tooth and also makes it appear natural.
