At Southpointe Dental, our Red Deer dentists provide root canal therapy for patients who are experiencing pain due to an infected tooth.
Dental pulp, which is located inside the tooth, provides the tooth with essential nerves and nutrients. A healthy dental pulp is vital for your tooth; however, an injured or infected one can harm the tooth and cause it to possibly die. To prevent this, a root canal therapy removes the problematic dental pulp and the inner chamber is refilled with a dental material. A dental crown is placed on top of the tooth to strengthen and protect it.
