Sometimes a tooth may become abscessed due to trauma, decay or a large, deep filling. To avoid an extraction and to keep the tooth, root canal treatment is required. The root canals are cleaned and gutta-perchas are inserted to fill the root. These are cut off, sealed and the tooth filled. A crown may be necessary for a root treated tooth in the future.
