Root Canal Therapy Can Save Your Tooth
Root canal therapy (often called a root canal) is a common procedure at Dental Lyfe Studio. A root canal can restore an infected tooth to its natural function and appearance. Contrary to popular belief, the process is typically no more painful than filling a cavity.
Our dentists would suggest a root canal treatment if your cavity is deep enough to become infected and spread to the nerves in the root of your tooth. Left untreated, a cavity this deep can become an abscess and may even lead to bone loss in your jaw as well as other health problems. Our dentists may also recommend a root canal for cracked or damaged teeth (where the tooth’s nerves are exposed).
