The Anatomy of your Smile
Every tooth is divided into two main parts: the crown (the visible part) and the roots (hidden beneath the gums, anchoring the tooth to your jaw). Inside these roots lie the root canals, home to vital nerve fibers and blood vessels known as the pulp.
When is a Root Canal Necessary?
Your tooth’s “living tissue” can become irritated or infected. If you’re experiencing pain, it might be due to:
- Deep Decay: Untreated cavities reaching the nerve.
- Leaking Fillings: Old restorations that no longer seal properly.
- Dental Trauma: Damage caused by an unexpected accident.
In these cases, a root canal treatment is the only way to remove the infection and save your natural tooth from extraction. We ensure this complex procedure is performed with the highest precision and care.
