Dental Services - Root Canals

Sometimes due to trauma or bacterial infection a tooth needs more than a just a filling or a crown. A root canal procedure is nothing more than a filling that goes down into the roots of the teeth. During a root canal, the inside of the tooth needs to be cleaned and filled. There are many misperceptions about this portion of dentistry. Many people associate pain with this procedure. A painful tooth does sometimes require a root canal treatment but the root canal procedure should begin the process of alleviating the pain.
