Root Canal Therapy in Sherwood Park
A root canal saves a tooth that is infected — performed to remove the damaged pulp, clean the canal, and seal it against reinfection.
Root canal therapy is performed to save a tooth that is infected due to a large filling, deep decay, fractured enamel, a cracked tooth, or trauma. The procedure involves removing the damaged area of the tooth (the pulp), cleaning and disinfecting it, then filling and sealing it.
"Root canal" is the term used to describe the pulp chamber that harbours the nerve inside the tooth. Common causes affecting the pulp are a cracked tooth, a deep cavity, repeated dental treatment, or trauma.
