What Is the Dental Pulp, and Why Does It Matter?
Inside every tooth lies a soft tissue called the pulp, which plays a vital role during early tooth development by helping form the hard outer structure. Over time, this pulp can become inflamed or infected due to decay, trauma, deep fillings, or fractures.

When left untreated, an infected pulp can cause severe tooth pain and spread to surrounding bone and soft tissues—potentially leading to abscesses or tooth loss.

How Root Canal Treatment Can Help
At MetroWest Endodontics, we specialize in root canal therapy, a proven and effective treatment to remove the diseased pulp, relieve pain, and save your natural tooth. This procedure is a safe and comfortable alternative to extraction and helps restore long-term oral health and function.

What to Expect During Your Visit
Your root canal procedure will typically be completed in one or two visits. Using the latest technology and advanced techniques, we ensure your comfort every step of the way. After treatment, we send a full report to your general dentist and recommend promptly returning to have a permanent filling or crown placed to protect the treated tooth.
