Endodontics, or root canal therapy, is often the most feared and misunderstood of all dental procedures. In order to understand treatment it helps to understand the anatomy of a tooth. Your tooth consists of two main parts, the crown, which is that part of the tooth you can see, and the root or roots, which is the part of the tooth that lies beneath the gum and is surrounded by bone.
Sensitivity to heat and cold, swelling, pain or tenderness, all can be symptoms and signs that you need treatment. But sometimes there are no symptoms.
Root canal therapy is often the most feared and misunderstood of all dental procedures. Join Dr. Karam Ashoo as he discusses what to expect and how the treatment is performed.
