Fillings and Root Canals


Root Canals: When a cavity is very large, it often reaches the pulp of the tooth. The pulp is located in the center of the tooth and is comprised of a network of blood vessels and nerves. When bacteria reach the pulp, the pulp has to be removed. This is when we perform a root canal treatment. During root canal treatments we use very fine specialized instruments to remove the pulp of the tooth and the empty space left behind after removing the pulp is then filled with a rubber like material. After the root canal treatment a crown is used to restore the extensive damage to the tooth.
