Endodontics

There are various reasons why a tooth may need root canal, some of which include infection, trauma, deep decay, positioning of the tooth, etc. At times, patients are given the option of endodontics vs. tooth extraction. Endodontics (root canal therapy) is a method of retaining the tooth in the dentition by removing the nerves in the tooth. Extraction involves removing the tooth entirely from the dentition.

Root Canal Therapy – Root canal therapy involves the cleaning, shaping and filling of the canal space within the root of the tooth.

Root Canal Retreatment – Retreatment is necessary when the root canal becomes reinfected. It is usually possible to perform the root canal treatment again and create an environment which will promote healing.
