Root Canal

What is a Root Canal?

A root canal is an endodontic procedure that is used to treat infected or damaged tooth pulp. The pulp, which is made up of connective tissue, nerves, and blood vessels, is the soft inner layer of the tooth.
‍

When a patient's tooth is inflamed, diseased, or infected due to untreated decay or trauma, the interior layer of the tooth might become inflamed, diseased, or infected. A root canal treatment entails the removal of the dental pulp as well as the cleaning and filling of the tooth's canals.

If a root canal is completed in a timely manner, the tooth's health can be totally restored, avoiding the need for extraction. To make an appointment, call Tampa Smile Co. now.
