Brooklin Whitby Root Canal Therapy Treatment Specialist

A tooth is considered healthy as long as it has a healthy nerve and a constant supply of vital nutrients coming in. In the center of each tooth, there is an area called the dental pulp, which houses the nerve and nutrients. If, for any reason, the dental pulp is damaged, injured from trauma, or becomes infected, the nerve can die, and then the tooth will die as well. To prevent the tooth from dying, a root canal can be performed, and the tooth can be preserved in the mouth. Its very common, after the root canal is completed, to put a crown over the existing tooth structure to give the tooth more strength for chewing and eating. At Dr. Shane Snider Dentistry, the dentists use magnification to guarantee the best therapy possible is accomplished.
