Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment saves teeth that would otherwise require extraction. Dr. Kim removes the infected pulp, cleans and shapes the root canals, and seals the tooth — usually capping it with a crown.
Modern root canal therapy is far more comfortable than its reputation suggests. Most patients report it’s no more uncomfortable than a standard filling.
