What is root canal treatment?
A root canal is recommended if the nerve in a tooth dies from decay or from a traumatic blow. The center of the tooth, including the nerve and blood vessel, is removed along with decayed portions of the tooth. The roots are filled with a sealing material. The tooth is then filled and a crown may be placed over the tooth if needed.

What is periodontal disease and what are the treatments?
Periodontal disease, or gum disease, is a leading cause of tooth loss in adults. It starts as the inflammation of the gums (gingivitis) and progress into periodontitis, which involving inflammation and infection of the ligaments and bones that support the teeth.

Treatment will depend upon the type of periodontal disease and how far the condition has progressed. These could be:
- Scaling to removes calculus and plague deposits above and below the gum line.
- Root planing smoothes rough root surfaces so the gums can heal. Local anesthesia may be used.
If deep pockets are found and bone has been destroyed, your dentist may recommend periodontal surgery.
