Root canal therapy is a specialized treatment used when the inner pulp of a tooth becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, cracks, or trauma. Without treatment, this infection can cause severe pain, swelling, and even tooth loss.
At Palmetto Dental Studio, root canal therapy is performed with modern techniques designed to make the procedure comfortable and effective. The infected tissue is carefully removed, the inside of the tooth is cleaned and sealed, and the tooth is restored to protect it from future damage. Contrary to common myths, root canal therapy often relieves pain rather than causes it.
By saving your natural tooth, root canal therapy helps maintain proper chewing function, bite alignment, and long-term oral health.
