Root Canal Seattle, WA
When a deep cavity or trauma damage to the nerve in the center of the tooth, a root canal may be indicated.A root canal is the process of removing the damaged nerve tissue from the tooth, and filling the canal space with an inert substance to seal it off.
Because a significant cavity or fracture often accompanies the need for a root canal, a dental crown is typically indicated following completion of root canal therapy. A crown will restore the original form to the tooth, and keep it functional by preventing further breakdown.
