What Is a Root Canal?

When a tooth becomes infected or severely decayed, a root canal may be necessary to save it. Deep cavities, cracks, trauma, or repeated dental procedures can expose the tooth’s inner pulp to bacteria, leading to pain and infection. The infection can spread if left untreated, causing severe pain, swelling, and even bone loss.

Eventually, this could lead to tooth loss or the need for extraction. At Allure Dental in LaVista, NE, we use advanced endodontic techniques to remove infection, relieve pain, and restore your tooth’s function. With our expert care, you can keep your natural tooth and avoid more invasive procedures!
