Root Canal Treatment
Root Canal Treatment
Specialist root canal therapy to remove infection from inside the tooth and preserve your natural tooth.
What is it?
Root canal treatment removes inflamed or infected tissue from inside the tooth, cleans and shapes the canal system, and seals it to prevent reinfection. As a specialist endodontist, Dr. Habib performs this work with magnification and specialist instrumentation, which is particularly relevant in teeth with complex canal anatomy.
