Root canal therapy is often the most feared and misunderstood of dental procedures. Root canal therapy is the removal of diseased or infected nerve tissue. The nerve tissue is located in the pulp chamber and the canals of tooth's roots. The canals are then filled with a preservative filling material called gutta percha.
The benefit of root canal therapy is the ability to maintain or keep a tooth that would subsequently be extracted if not treated. With the advancement of dental technology and procedures, root canal therapy is often completed in one pain-free visit. Root canal therapy is performed in the most safe and germ-free environment.
