Anesthesia

Root Canals

A nerve within a tooth may die because  it may have received an injury or for no apparent reason.  This is usually called an abscessed tooth.  Root canal therapy is a choice  rather than loosing the tooth.  After the therapy, a crown  is necessary to protect the tooth's structure.

Procedures are as follows:  Open--Irrigate--Seal--Crown
