Root Canal Treatment
Pasadena, MD

Every tooth is comprised of three distinct layers. The outermost and toughest layer is enamel, followed by dentin as the second layer. The innermost layer is the pulp, which contains the tooth's live tissue and nerve. If the pulp becomes exposed to external elements, it can become contaminated and infected. This exposure often occurs due to large cavities or fractured teeth. Your dentist can provide specific details regarding the cause of pulp damage. In such cases, root canal treatment is typically recommended.

Root canal treatment involves accessing the pulp space to remove infected or dead tissue. Once removed, the area is thoroughly disinfected and sealed using specialized materials. Modern advancements in techniques and materials have made root canal treatments more comfortable and efficient. Following treatment, your restorative dentist typically places a crown on the tooth to protect against fractures. In some cases, particularly complex ones, our dentist may recommend treatment by a root canal specialist to ensure optimal results.
