Root Canal Dentist in Bartlesville, OK
The hard enamel on the outside of your tooth acts as a shield, protecting the delicate inner structure. However, deep cavities or injuries can allow bacteria to penetrate the tooth, causing painful infections. Root canal treatment removes the infection, restores the tooth’s health, and prevents the need for extraction.
