Root canal treatment
Lindale Dental Care offers root canal treatments to help save teeth when possible. Often times when a tooth is causing a person a lot of pain, the nerve is damaged. A root canal is needed if the tooth’s nerve is injured in a way that cannot heal, the nerve is infected or has an abscess. A root canal removes damaged nerves and cleans out the infected root. A crown or cap will need to be placed on the tooth if it is one of the back teeth to restore form and function to protect the tooth.
