Why Are Root Canals Necessary?
When the root canal of a tooth becomes damaged, decayed or even infected it can lead to additional complications, including death of the tooth, increased risk of gum disease, oral infections and even a potentially life-threatening infection of the blood known as sepsis.
How Can Root Canals Save Your Tooth?
The goal of root canal treatment is to remove any of the decay, infection, bacteria, and plaque found in the root canal of the tooth along with restoring the strength and functionality of the tooth. Following treatment, the affected tooth is sealed and a dental crown is recommended.
How Long Do Root Canals Take?
Root canal treatment is actually quite quick, requiring only about an hour to an hour and a half in most cases. A follow-up appointment may be required however to place the dental crown following root canal treatment, this should only take one appointment.
