To perform a root canal, Dr. Javid sufficiently numbs the tooth, providing sedation services if necessary. The pulp and canals of the tooth are cleared of necrotic, infected tissue and filled with a special material to strengthen the tooth structure.
Root canal treated teeth often need crowns for full coverage and protection, as removing the pulp, or nerve center, leaves teeth brittle and at greater risk of breaking. Dr. Javid will discuss restorative options to best meet your needs following root canal therapy.
