Root Canals

Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic treatment, is the process of removing infected, injured or dead pulp from your tooth. The space inside the hard layers of each tooth is called the root canal system. The canal is then filled with materials designed to prevent infection from recurring and restore the tooth to its full function.

A successful root canal treatment lets you keep your tooth rather than having it extracted. Keeping your tooth helps to prevent adjacent teeth from drifting out of line, causing further problems.

Dr. Hormoz may recommend root canal therapy for the following reasons:

  • Decay has reached the tooth pulp (the living tissue inside the tooth).
  • Infection or abscess have developed inside the tooth or at the root tip.
  • Injury or trauma to the tooth.
  • Minimal to severe pain.
  • Tooth discoloration.
  • Sensitivity to hot and cold.
  • Swelling and irritation in the surrounding gum tissue.
  • Sometimes no symptoms are present.
