Teeth don’t always have to be extracted in cases of decay, trauma, or infection; depending on the circumstances, these teeth may be saved.
Root canal treatment is required when the nerve of a tooth is affected by infection or decay. The process involves the removal of the blood vessels, nerves, bacteria, and decay inside the root canal space. The space created is then filled with medication and/or a rubber-like material to prevent reinfection of the tooth.
Our dentists at Toowoomba Dental Centre may offer root canal therapy as a treatment option in cases where you wish to save affected teeth.
