A root canal, or pulpectomy, is a treatment for an infection in the soft inner tissue of a tooth. If left untreated, the infection can affect the health of the jaw and other tissues surrounding the tooth.

The root canal procedure:

• Preserves your dental and oral health
• Improves the appearance of teeth darkened by infection
• Is a preventative measure to help you avoid costly restorations to replace a tooth lost to decay and infection

The potential pain of a root canal procedure concerns many people, but at Care Dental Center, we provide modern root canal therapy that is usually painless and no more uncomfortable than having a filling placed.
