A root canal procedure is one of the most important and the most commonly done procedures at Ready 2 Smile Dental Group. This procedure involves the removal of the natural cavity, which is at the center of the tooth. It is only done to teeth that are damaged or decaying, in hopes to stop damage. The tooth is usually cleaned, the pulp cavity is removed and finally sealed. This can help to decrease the pain a patient feels, and allow the tooth to heal.
