About Zattera Family Dental

A root canal is a dental procedure used to treat infection or damage within the pulp of a tooth. The pulp is the soft tissue inside the tooth that contains nerves and blood vessels. When this area becomes infected due to deep decay, cracks, or trauma, it can cause significant pain and lead to further complications if not treated.

During the procedure, your dentist will remove the infected pulp, clean and disinfect the interior of the tooth, and then fill and seal it to prevent future issues. This helps save the natural tooth and restore its function, allowing you to maintain a healthy smile. Root canals are a common and effective way to alleviate pain and preserve your dental health.
