Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy is used to treat infection or damage inside a tooth. While many people feel nervous when they hear “root canal,” the treatment is designed to relieve pain and help save the natural tooth.
At Otisville Dental Associates, our team focuses on making the process as comfortable and straightforward as possible.

Treatment Overview
During root canal therapy, the infected or damaged tissue inside the tooth is removed. The inside of the tooth is cleaned, shaped, and sealed. In many cases, a dental crown may be recommended afterward to protect and strengthen the tooth.
Our team will walk you through the process and answer any questions before treatment begins.
