What is a Root Canal? Owings Mills Dentist

Root canal therapy is used for restoring a tooth that has experienced deep decay or trauma. Root canal therapy can save a tooth that may otherwise need to be removed. During a root canal, the exposed or infected pulp is removed and disinfected. Once the tooth is treated, it is covered with a crown for protection and strength.

In most instances, you will experience little to no pain and will be able to enjoy your restored tooth for years to come.
