A toothache can be one of the most painful dental problems and often won't improve with pain medication alone. If the nerve inside a tooth becomes inflamed or infected, prompt treatment is important to relieve pain and prevent the infection from spreading.
Root canal treatment allows us to remove the infected tissue from inside the tooth, relieve discomfort, and save your natural tooth whenever possible. Once treatment is complete, a dental crown is often recommended to strengthen and protect the tooth, helping restore its function and reduce the risk of future damage.
