What Is Root Canal Therapy and Why Might You Need It?

Tooth infections can make everyday life miserable. If ignored, they can develop into more serious problems such as abscesses, facial swelling, or tooth loss. Root canal therapy allows you to keep your tooth and stop the infection in its tracks.

At Christina Greene Family Dentistry, we perform root canal therapy to treat:

• Deep tooth decay
• Cracked or broken teeth from accidents
• Dental trauma from sports or falls
• Sensitivity that lingers long after hot or cold exposure
• Gums that are swollen or have pimple-like bumps

3. Dr. Christina Greene removes the infected pulp from the tooth
