Root canal treatment is designed to eliminate bacteria from the infected root canal, prevent reinfection of the tooth and save the natural tooth. When one undergoes a root canal, the inflamed or infected pulp is removed and the inside of the tooth is carefully cleaned and disinfected, then filled and sealed.
For conscientious dentists, it is always the highest priority to keep a tooth as long as possible because a tooth can perform important functions even if it is partially or even completely damaged or even deceased. At Evergreen Dental we attach great importance to the preservation of teeth and in this article we would like to take a close look at all eventualities.
