Oral & Dental Surgery Process & Facts

Root Canals

Root canals target the cracked and decaying portion of a tooth.

The Dental Surgery requires opening up the tooth in order to clean out the infected portion before space is filled and closed off.

Pre and post-operation procedures are put in place to ensure the patient’s comfort and proper healing of the tooth. In the case of at home care, however, diligence and maintenance by the patient are crucial in the overall healing of the tooth and in the prevention of future damage.
