Root Canal
At Midtown Dental, we offer treatment of infected teeth to save them from being extracted.
A tooth may require endodontic therapy due to many reasons including cavities that are not attended to quickly (and progress into infection deep inside the tooth) or if a tooth has been exposed to major trauma. If this does happen and is left unattended it can cause significant pain and/or infection leading to extraction or systemic medical problems.
Keeping a tooth (rather than extracting) can help maintain bone structure and support, maintain aesthetics, and retain chewing power.
After root canal therapy, a tooth may need a crown to help support it if significant tooth structure is missing.
