Thanks to the science of dentistry known as Endodontics, dentists have the capability to perform Root Canal Therapy to sustain the use of a decayed or diseased tooth. It is one of the most common dental procedures performed. It can save your natural tooth and prevent the need of a bridge or dental implant. The process involves the removal of soft tissue (dental pulp, located in the center of a tooth) that has become diseased. The removal of the pulp, along with the process of filling and sealing the affected tooth is what is termed as a Root Canal.
Occasionally, a tooth can become decayed or diseased with little or no symptoms. However, in most instances, it is the symptom of pain that will prompt one to schedule an appointment with their dentist.
