| Root canal therapy becomes necessary when decay has reached the nerve and blood supply of a tooth.
Treatment includes the removal of all necrotic tooth structure as well as the nerve and blood supply of the tooth. The canals of the tooth are shaped and then filled and sealed with a special material. In many cases a tooth that has had root canal therapy will require a post, build-up and a crown placed to ensure long term strength and stability. |
