If your dentist finds a cavity in your tooth, they\u2019ll usually clean out the infection and seal it with a filling.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

But your standard cavity treatment won’t cut it when the decay works its way to the inner layers or pulp of your tooth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

When tooth decay gets out of control, root canal therapy is one of the best ways to eliminate it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

During a teeth root canal treatment, your dentist at Dental Express will clear out any damaged pulp from your tooth, thoroughly disinfect the area, and seal it up with a filling.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Root canal therapy anterior is doubly effective because it removes the decay from your tooth and protects your surrounding teeth from infection.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
