What Is Root Canal Therapy?
A root canal is the best way to prevent losing your tooth!
A root canal by our talented Croasdaile Dental Arts team can save an infected or decayed tooth, preventing you from losing it. When a tooth becomes severely infected, the harmful bacteria can reach its vulnerable center – the pulp. This can cause inflammation and considerable pain. Root canal therapy by our skillful Durham, NC dentists removes the infection and damaged nerve, sterilizes the tooth, seals it, and then restores it to full strength and function by capping it with a gorgeous dental crown.
