Root canal therapy, also known as endodontic treatment, is necessary when the inside of your tooth becomes infected or inflamed. The inner portion of your tooth that becomes infected is called the pulp. This is a soft tissue in the middle of your tooth that contains blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissue and extends all the way to the root of your tooth.
Root canal therapy involves cleaning the pulp and filling the space with a biocompatible material. This process ensures that the infection and inflammation are removed, and seals the root canals to make sure your tooth remains healthy.
Endodontic treatment isn’t as painful as people claim it to be. With modern technology and skilled professionals, Virginia Dental Center can provide root canal therapy that is comfortable, relieving, and preserves your natural tooth.
