What is Root Canal Therapy??

Root Canal Therapy diagnoses and treats issues affecting your tooth pulp. The pulp is the soft center inside each of your teeth. It contains blood vessels and nerves but isn’t necessary for a permanent tooth’s survival. By removing pulp that’s infected or inflamed, it’s possible to relieve pain, prevent infection, and preserve your natural tooth.

Call to schedule an appointment at Bloomfield Hills Dental Associates if you:

• Experience tooth pain
• Chip or crack a tooth
• Get hit in the mouth
• Have a sensation of warmth in your gums

All of these symptoms indicate an infection or injury to your tooth pulp. The sooner you receive treatment, the less likely you are to need an extraction.
