About Root Canal Treatments
There are times where our teeth can be vulnerable to damage. Current injuries to our hard tissue (teeth), past injuries, as well as harmful bacteria in deeper areas of tooth decay can and will damage the vital healthy nerve tissue (pulp) that lies within each tooth (technically, teeth are organs).
Root Canals (another lazy word phrase) are specialized tooth root treatments. First any/all infected pulp tissue is carefully removed, and the inner chambers of the tooth are cleansed and disinfected. Soft rubber-like cones with a disinfecting sealant are placed as a customized filler for these chambers to discourage any re-entry of bacteria back inside your tooth.

It’s important to keep in mind that Root Canal Therapy (treatment) is a vital step in attempting to stop the damage that has happened/been happening in an affected tooth. Root Canal Therapy will not protect the tooth from future damage, nor will it provide functionality
for the tooth in future. Most teeth, following Root Canal Therapy, would
require more protective Crown coverage to protect and prevent future damage.
