Root Canal Treatment
Typically known as root canal therapy, endodontic treatment becomes necessary when the nerve of a tooth becomes infected. This procedure is advised to preserve the tooth instead of extracting it. It’s essential to make every effort to retain your teeth to prevent them from shifting out of alignment, which can alter your bite and potentially lead to jaw discomfort.
While a tooth treated with a root canal may be more susceptible to fractures, it can be strengthened with a post and a porcelain crown.
