Sometimes bacteria enters the pulp of a tooth and causes an infection. When this occurs, root canal therapy is necessary to save the tooth. During this procedure, the infected pulp is removed and the tooth is sealed to prevent reinfection. Learn More

With proper care, even teeth that have had root canal treatment can last a lifetime. But sometimes, a tooth that has been treated doesn’t heal properly and can become painful or diseased months or even years after treatment. If your tooth failed to heal or develops new problems, you have a second chance. Learn More

Why might you need a root canal?

When bacteria enters a tooth through a crack or deep cavity, the pulp can become infected or inflamed. You may feel pain or experience swelling. Other times, the bacteria can damage the bone that holds your tooth in place without causing pain. That’s why it’s important to contact your local Aspen Dental if you ever injure a tooth or have problems with a filling.
