Root Canals Can Be a Painless Way to Save Natural Teeth

The term “root canal” strikes fear into the hearts of many patients. However, it’s really a very basic and effective procedure that can be done virtually without pain. Dr. Allison M. Adams in Madison, NJ, is skilled and very experienced in root canal procedures and makes sure yours is as stress-free and pain-free as possible.

What is a Root Canal?

Root canal therapy involves the removal of the tooth’s pulp, a small thread-like tissue that aided tooth development. Once removed, the pulp is replaced with materials that seal off the root canal from its surrounding tissues. Years ago, diseased or injured teeth were often extracted. Today, even if the pulp is injured or infected, the tooth can often be saved through root canal therapy. With proper care, the results can last for many years.
