The pulp of a tooth can sustain severe decay, which then can result in infection due to the bacteria entering the area. If Dr. Conte makes the diagnosis of an abscessed tooth, he may recommend root canal therapy.
If you think that you may need root canal therapy, please contact us at 813-681-5515 to schedule an appointment with our friendly dentist at our office in Brandon, Florida. We hope to see you at Dental Excellence of Brandon soon!
