Root canal or Endodontic treatment is necessary when a cavity left untreated becomes very large. Once the cavity reaches the tooth’s pulp, an infection forms at the base of the root canal, causing an abscess. This abscess is generally painful and must be removed with Advanced Dentistry Center’s Endodontics services in West Bloomfield, Farmington Hills, Bingham Farms, Franklin, Beverly Hills, Bloomfield Hills, Southfield and Royal Oak, MI.

The doctors at Advanced Dentistry Center know that severe tooth decay can often lead to a root canal. If the decay has reached the tooth’s nerve, a root canal may be needed. Essentially, root canal therapy involves cleaning a tooth’s infected root and filling and sealing the canal.
