If you’ve been experiencing a dull ache or severe pain in your tooth, or perhaps it feels very tender when you bite, then it may be that the nerve or blood supply to your tooth (also known as the pulp) has become infected or inflamed. The good news is that the tooth can often be saved using root canal treatment. Also known as endodontics, it’s a highly skilled and somewhat time consuming process. At Dewey Family Dentistry we are fully experienced with all aspects of root canal treatments, so you can rest assured that you are in safe hands.
