What is a Root Canal?
In the past, if you had a decayed tooth, then that tooth would be pulled. Now with advancements in dental technology, the team at Brookline Dental Specialists can save and restore your smile.
When a tooth has large cavities, decay or infection, it will need the root canal procedure. Root canal treatment is performed pain-free under a local anesthetic. During a root canal, the inner pulp of the tooth is cleaned and sealed to prevent further decay. If this procedure is not performed then infection and abscesses can occur in the tissue surrounding the tooth.
