Root canal treatment is necessary when a tooth becomes infected. A tooth infection can only be eliminated when we remove the diseased tissue from the tooth. After it's healed, our dentists rebuild the tooth with a permanent crown or filling to strengthen it.
If you don't treat a tooth infection, it will worsen until the tooth becomes unsalvageable and must be extracted to protect neighbouring teeth and your overall health.
How to Avoid Root Canal Treatment
Did you know some tooth infections can be avoided with preventive teeth cleanings and check-ups? It's true!
When you visit your general dentist regularly for preventive teeth cleans and checks, they can often spot problematic tooth decay early when you can still treat it with a dental filling before it causes an infection.
Preventive dental care actually saves you time, money, and stress when it helps you avoid painful problems like tooth infections.
Most patients can avoid more invasive and costly procedures like root canal treatment with routine visits to their dentists every six months.
