Root canal treatment
Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is probably the most maligned of all dental procedures, but the reputation of pain typically associated with "having a root canal" is really not deserved. For the majority of people who will undergo root canal treatment the process itself will be no more involved than having a filling placed.
As you read on our pages will explain for you the overall goals of root canal treatment, the treatment's individual steps, and also what other dental work might be necessary for a tooth which has had its root canal treatment completed. Our pages also discuss the costs associated with root canal treatment, what role endodontists play in providing this type of therapy, and why root canal treatment can fail.
