Root canals are probably the most notorious procedure in dentistry. When a tooth becomes infected, the infected nerves have to be removed to relieve pain and prevent the formation of an abscess, which can create a tunnel through the jaw and lead to bone loss. Removing the infected root ensures you continue to enjoy healthy teeth and gums for years to come.

Most patients are afraid of root canals, but advances in dental technology have removed the pain once associated with them. Local anesthetics and proper pain medication prevent discomfort during and after the procedure. If you are experiencing pain in your teeth and jaw, schedule an appointment with Dr. Seini right away.
