Root canal treatment is a procedure used to save a severely damaged or infected tooth. When the inner pulp becomes infected due to deep decay, cracks, or injury, it can cause pain, sensitivity, and swelling. A root canal removes the infected tissue, cleans and disinfects the inside of the tooth, and seals it to prevent further infection.

At Westbrook Dental, we use modern techniques and advanced equipment to ensure precise and efficient treatment. After the procedure, a dental crown is usually placed to restore the tooth’s strength and function. Root canal treatment helps preserve your natural tooth, maintain proper chewing, and prevent the need for extraction, allowing you to keep your smile healthy and complete for years.
