Why Root Canal Treatment

Without treatment infection will spread, bone around the tooth will degenerate & the tooth may fall out. The only alternative then is to remove the tooth, which is the cheaper option. Replacing a tooth however, with an implant or bridge is quite an expensive affair.If you have the choice, it is always advisable to keep your original tooth. There are limitations as well. Discuss with your dentist and make the best decision.
