Halifax Root Canal

When you need a little extra care

When a cavity is undetected, or left untreated, the bacteria causing the decay advance deeper into the tooth and close to, or into, the nerve space. This results in a dental infection that is typically quite painful and leads to a chronic dental infection or abscess if not addressed. If the decay is not too extensive and there is enough tooth to save, a root canal can be done to remove the infected nerve tissue, and preserve the tooth.

A root canal involves removing the infected or dead nerve tissue, disinfecting the nerve space, and filling the root space. A crown is usually recommended after a root canal to prevent the tooth from fracturing over time.
