Endodontic (root canal) therapy saves teeth that would otherwise need to be extracted. When the nerve (pulp) of the tooth becomes damaged due to decay, trauma or a crack in the tooth, Endodontic treatment is necessary. This treatment involves the cleansing, shaping and filling of the space where the nerve resides. Surgical procedures are also performed for teeth which require further treatment beyond the traditional root canal therapy. Bleaching procedures are also available for teeth which have darkened due to a damaged nerve.

Despite the very high success rate of root canal treatment, a very small percentage of teeth do not respond to treatment and may need to be extracted.
