Root canals are common dental care procedures in which the nerve and pulp are removed from the inside of a tooth in the event of decay or infection. Dr. John Buoncristiani, DDS specializes in this procedure so that you can be spared not only the pain but the possibility of your condition worsening and causing abscesses. After the nerve and pulp are removed, the tooth is then cleaned out and sealed, preventing further infection. While getting a root canal is slightly painful and uncomfortable, it is extremely effective and will benefit you in the long run. To schedule an appointment for a root canal treatment, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with Dr. John Buoncristiani, DDS today!
