Root canal treatment.
A tooth is much more than the enamelled surface you see. A cavity that’s not treated in time, or that degenerates the tooth deeply, can infect the root.

The treatment process.
A tooth is much more than the enamelled surface you see. A cavity that’s not treated in time, or that degenerates the tooth deeply, can infect the root.
Bacteria infiltrate deeper than the cavity and attack the root canals. In the case of inflammation, endodontics treats the problem to help the tooth heal normally. Root canals are most commonly performed to eliminate infection and preserve the tooth, avoiding extraction.
Thanks to Dr. Zeina Abou-Khalil’s cutting-edge technology and care, these treatments are performed very gently. If the weakened tooth needs to be protected with a crown or an implant, further appointments will be recommended.
