When a tooth has experienced a trauma or decay is ignored and left for too long, it may become infected. This likely results in a great deal of pain and discomfort due to infection within the tooth. You may need a Root Canal Treatment (RCT) to clean out the infection in the root of the tooth and restore the tooth with a root-canal filling (post) and crown. Please contact us if you have any concerns about your teeth and we will determine if this is the best solution for you.
