Your dentist or specialist performs a root canal to remove decayed tissue or infection from the inside of your tooth (the pulp). They then fill and seal the tooth. This saves the tooth from extraction.
Many people believe root canals are painful and unnerving, but millions of people successfully undergo them every year.
Montrose Dental Specialty uses a high-tech Dentsply WaveOne® rotary tool during the procedure. This eliminates loud grinding sounds and allows the procedure to move along swiftly and efficiently.
