Severe tooth pain? You may have an infection in the root canal — the deepest layer of your tooth. Dr. Syed eliminates the infection and restores the tooth so it looks and feels like new, providing relief and restoring health at our Pike Creek, DE dental practice.
What Is Root Canal Therapy?
A cracked tooth or large cavity can allow bacteria to enter the root canal, causing infection. Dr. Syed removes the infection and restores full function to the tooth.
