Root canal therapy treats the center, or pulp, of a tooth that is inflamed, infected, or dead. The pulp is a soft substance consisting of nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. Root canal is preferable to tooth extraction because it allows the natural tooth to remain. Contact Coastal Monmouth Dental Specialists of Ocean for more information or to schedule an appointment.
