    About the Procedure

    When the nerve or pulp within the tooth becomes inflamed or necrotic (dead) it can cause toothache and infection. Endodontic treatment (root canal) is a method that preserves the placement and function of a natural tooth even when the nerve and pulp must be removed. Once the nerve and pulp are removed, the tooth is filled with inert material and restored with a filling or crown.
