If infection or decay penetrates the inner layers of your tooth, Dr. David Ainsworth and his associates may recommend a root canal treatment to remove the damaged tissue. Root canals are often preferable to extractions, as they allow you to retain your tooth and continue using it for many years without difficulty. To schedule a consultation with our Dentist and learn more about root canal therapy in Edison, New Jersey, call Dental Plus Dental Center today at 732-287-6611.
