Why Do I Need a Root Canal Therapy?
Root canal therapy is a necessary treatment of the inner nerve when tooth becomes affected or inflamed by decay or infection. When this happens, the tooth may become extremely sensitive to both pressure and temperature and to be source of intense dental pain. Root canal treatment is a way to repair and save damaged or infected teeth instead of removing it.
An endodontic treatment saves a severely injured, cracked, or decayed tooth when its pulp (the soft inner tissue inside a tooth's root canal) becomes inflamed or infected.
Root canal treatment at our dental office in Norwalk, CT is the chance to relieve pain and save a tooth that could die and have to be removed.
