Understanding Root Canal Treatment
A root canal becomes necessary when the inner pulp of your tooth becomes infected or severely damaged. This can happen due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures, or trauma to the tooth. While the thought of root canal treatment might make you nervous, the reality is that modern root canals are highly effective and much more comfortable than you might expect.
During your root canal procedure at our Westerville practice, Dr. Molzahn will carefully remove the infected pulp, clean and disinfect the inside of your tooth, and seal it to prevent future infection. This process saves your natural tooth and eliminates the pain you’ve been experiencing.
