Root Canal
Endodontic treatment, more commonly known as root canal therapy, is necessary when the pulp of your tooth becomes inflamed or infected. The inflammation or infection can have a variety of causes such as deep decay, repeated dental procedures on your tooth, or a crack or chip in the tooth. With proper care, an Endodontically treated tooth will function normally for years to come.

Root canals of teeth are prepared in some cases with hand filing and in most cases with Wave One rotary nickel-titanium files. In the case of hand filing, the canals are sealed with traditional cold gutta percha technique, with the rotary instrumetation, a warm gutta core technique is used for optimum seal.
