It is often needed when the nerve of your tooth is affected by severe decay or infection, which should then be removed. The most common reasons a tooth becomes compromised and in need of root canal therapy, is due to a crack or fracture, deep cavities or an injury to the tooth. In order to save your tooth from requiring an extraction, the pulp (tissue inside the tooth), nerves, bacteria and any infection or decay are carefully removed by your dentist and the resulting space is filled with special medicated dental materials. This restores the tooth to its full function and saves your tooth from needing to be extracted.

It is often the treatment of choice to save a tooth that otherwise would require extraction. While many patients believe that removing a problematic tooth is the only solution, this is not always the case. Sometimes it is possible to save the tooth. Extracting or “pulling” a tooth can sometimes be more expensive in the long run, as well as cause significant problems for adjacent teeth. It is a highly effective treatment option and can last a lifetime. On occasion however, a tooth may have to be re-treated due to new infections.
