Root canal therapy is an alternative to extraction. Root canal treatment eliminates the pain and saves your tooth! Most of the time, your tooth, whether it’s been ravaged by decay, bacteria, or trauma, can be saved with root canal therapy. It’s important to save your tooth, not just for aesthetic purposes, but because it’s body-beneficial. Your jaw bone exists to nourish the tooth roots—and if a tooth is extracted, then the bone deteriorates.
Due to flaws in the tooth structure, sometimes caused by fractures, cavities, or breakage, bacteria will infiltrate the tooth’s nerve and pulp. This creates an infection, and often causes irritation, pain, and inflammation.
