Root Canals

Giving anesthesia to the patient before dental surgery at Byrne Dental

When do you need to consider a root canal?

Well over 14 million root canals are performed each year, making it one of the most common dental procedures. A root canal is performed when bacteria-caused decay has reached the pulp or nerve of a tooth and infected it.

Our bodies are unable to naturally heal this type of infection, so it is important to have it professionally treated. Treatment restores health to your tooth but also prevents the need for dental implants or bridges.

During this procedure, the infected pulp is removed, and the canals of the tooth are thoroughly cleaned, and then sealed. The tooth is then filled or restored with a dental crown.
