When
the nerve of a permanent tooth becomes infected or abscessed,
Root Canal Therapy
is the only way to save the tooth. A tooth can become abscessed as a result
of deep decay, a cracked
tooth, or trauma to the tooth. The only alternative
to Root Canal Therapy is an Extraction.
Root Canal Therapy for permanent teeth is usually referred to an endodontist. An endodontist specializes in the treatment of the nerve of a tooth.
A similar procedure on primary teeth is a pulpotomy or pulpectomy.
