Root Canals
A root canal is a treatment needed to restore a tooth that is badly deteriorated or becomes infected so that it can be saved. During a root canal procedure, the pulp and the nerve are removed and the inside of the tooth is cleaned and sealed.

Root Canal Re-Treatment
With proper care, even teeth that have had root canal treatment can last a lifetime. But sometimes, a tooth that has been treated doesn’t heal properly and can become painful or diseased months or even years after treatment.
