People think a root canal kills your tooth. The truth, [music] it saves it. When the soft tissue inside your tooth called the pulp, becomes infected, it can cause severe pain. If left [music] untreated, the infection can spread

beyond the tooth and even form a painful abscess. [music] At Oaks Dental Clinic, a root canal is performed to remove the infection while preserving your natural tooth. The procedure begins with a small opening in the tooth [music] to access

the infected pulp. Using specialized instruments, the damaged pulp, including the nerve and tiny blood [music] vessels, is carefully removed from each root canal. The canals are then thoroughly [music] cleaned, disinfected,

and shaped to eliminate bacteria. Once they're completely clean, they're filled with a [music] biompatible material called gutaperta and sealed to prevent bacteria from re-entering. [music] Even without the nerve, your tooth can

continue to function normally because it's supported by the surrounding bone, gums, and ligaments. In all cases, a dental crown is also placed afterward [music] to restore the tooth strength, and protect it for years to come. A root

canal doesn't kill [music] your tooth. It removes the infection, relieves the pain, and gives your natural tooth a second chance. [music] If you're dealing with persistent tooth pain, don't wait. Book a consultation with Oaks Dental

[music] Clinic and let us help you save your smile.
