What Is Root Canal Therapy?
Root canal treatment or therapy is performed to remove infected areas of the soft, inner section of the tooth, also known as the pulp. These infected areas can cause significant pain, and if they’re left untreated can lead to the death of the entire tooth. To save the tooth, a root canal can allow for proper healing and even lead to further strengthening of the tooth. Dr. Bekerman works to determine when root canal therapy is needed, detecting issues and addressing infections before they can spread through the bloodstream to the rest of the body. After the infection has been treated, the tooth is topped off with a luminous, natural-looking dental crown. At Premiere Dental, we offer our patients high-quality, lab fabricated crowns.
