Why Would Someone Need a Root Canal?
Inside every tooth is a bit of soft tissue called the dental pulp. In addition to multiple blood vessels, it also contains the sensitive inner nerve of a tooth. When exposed to bacteria, either due to a cavity or crack in the enamel, it can become infected, swell, and cause quite a lot of dental pain.
Thankfully, root canal therapy is specifically designed to handle this kind of problem. With this treatment, Dr. Laster can remove the pulp, clean the tooth, and restore it so it both looks normal and is able to function reliably within the smile for many years to come.
