Root Canals:

A root canal is performed on an infected tooth and may be indicated by
the following symptoms:

A tooth may become infected by a deep cavity or by a blow to the tooth.
An infection will never heal itself.  It will burden the immune system and
may even be life-threatening.

Root canal treatment can save the tooth.  It is performed in three steps.

1. Remove the infection.
2. Place filling material in the root canal.
3. Crown the tooth.

Root canal treatment may involve more than one appointment.
