root canal treatment

It may be too late to save a tooth with a root canal if severe decay has destroyed the tooth below the gum line, the tooth has a vertical root fracture, or extensive bone loss and infection make it impossible to restore. In such cases, tooth extraction may be the only option. Seeking treatment early can often save your natural tooth. At Uru Dental Clinic, our dentists evaluate your tooth carefully and recommend the best treatment to preserve your oral health whenever possible.
