When Root Canals Are Needed
While we’re diligent about preventing serious dental problems, occasionally, an infected tooth must be rescued with root canal therapy.
Here’s when root canal therapy may be the right choice:
- A cavity has reached the soft inner tissue
- A tooth is infected or abscessed
- Impact injury has fractured or damaged a tooth
- A tooth was knocked out and replaced in its socket
- A tooth is dead or dying and discolored
Keep Your Teeth
With regular dental care, a tooth with a properly done root canal by Dr. Mike can last for many decades.
