If infection or decay penetrates the inner layers of your tooth, Dr. Ainsworth and associates may recommend a root canal treatment to remove the damaged tissue. Root canals are often preferable to extractions, as they allow you to retain your tooth and continue using it for many years without difficulty. To schedule a consultation with our dentists and learn more about root canal therapy in Edison, New Jersey, call David S. Ainsworth & Associates today at 732-287-6611.
