Root Canals (endodontics)
A toothache may indicate a damaged tooth, and sometimes the damage is deep in the tooth's canal at the root. When a tooth's nerve incurs irreparable damage, Dr. Jensen may suggest root canal therapy. Modern tools and anesthesia make root canal therapy more comfortable and effective than ever.

The process involves removing damaged pulp from within the tooth's canal and replacing it with manmade material. This is important, because if the damaged pulp can become infected and cause serious oral and overall health problems. The manmade material allows you to keep your tooth intact, which maintains your natural bite and oral function, and it alleviates the risk of infection.
