What is Endodontics (Root Canals)?
Endodontics Root Canals, also known as root canal therapy, is a specialized dental procedure aimed at treating issues within the dental pulp—the innermost part of the tooth. The dental pulp contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue and can become infected, inflamed, or damaged due to factors such as decay, trauma, or dental procedures. During a root canal procedure, the infected or damaged pulp is carefully removed, the interior of the tooth is cleaned and disinfected, and then filled and sealed to prevent further infection. This treatment aims to alleviate pain, preserve natural teeth, and promote long-term oral health. At Legacy Dental, our experienced team specializes in performing root canal therapy with precision and expertise to ensure optimal outcomes for our patients.
