What Is a Root Canal?

In this video, experienced implant dentist Luz Cabrera, DMD, discusses how the health badly infected teeth can be reclaimed with endodontic therapy.

A root canal is a dental procedure that involves the removal of the nerve tissue from the roots of a tooth. This procedure is typically recommended when the nerve is already affected, often due to the invasion of harmful bacteria that compromise the health of the nerve.

During the root canal procedure, we carefully remove the damaged nerve tissue, clean the inner space of the tooth’s roots, and then replace it with a biocompatible material. This process allows us to preserve the tooth’s structure and function, ensuring it can continue to function normally after the procedure.

If you have any concerns or issues related to a root canal, whether it’s due to pain or other dental problems, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We are here to provide you with the necessary assistance and guidance to address your dental needs and ensure your oral health. Simply give us a call, and I will be more than happy to assist you in any way I can.
