Preserve your dental health with our help.
At Aloha Dental, we proudly offer root canal therapy to preserve and restore your dental health.
A root canal is a highly effective procedure for saving teeth that are severely decayed, infected, or have suffered trauma. When the inner nerve of the tooth becomes infected, it can cause significant pain, swelling, and further complications if left untreated. During the procedure, we carefully remove the infected nerve tissue and thoroughly clean the inside of the tooth to eliminate the source of infection. The tooth is then sealed to prevent future infections or abscesses.
