Root canal treatment is a procedure that involves removing the injured or infected pulp of the tooth. A tooth that has had root canal treatment can last for many years and even forever, as long as there is proper care.
Excellent oral hygiene and regular visits to your dentist are important for the root canaled teeth, as well as your other teeth. Most root canaled teeth require a dental crown to be placed for added protection from future injuries, such as a cracked tooth or broken tooth.
If your tooth requires additional expertise, Drs. Meehan, Sorensen and Cheney work closely with root canal specialists called Endodontists.
