A root canal is a treatment used to repair and save a tooth that is badly decayed or becomes infected. During a root canal procedure, the nerve and pulp are removed and the inside of the tooth is cleaned and sealed. Without treatment, the tissue surrounding the tooth will become inflamed and an abscess can form.

“Root canal” is the term used to describe the natural space within the centre of the tooth. The pulp (tooth nerve) is the soft tissue within the root canal space.

Endodontics is a specialty of Dentistry that deals with diseases of the dental pulp and its supporting structures. Endodontists are Dentists with special post-graduate training in this field. Endodontists are also experienced at finding the cause of oral and facial pain that has been difficult to diagnose.

Although General Dentists can perform Endodontic treatment, patients are often referred to an Endodontist when the case is complicated or more difficult than usual. We at Cedarsendo are specialist Endodontists, experts in root canal treatment with state of the art facilities.
