However, if you were unable to have decay treated in time, there are other methods available. Root canal treatment can repair the area after severe damage and keep your teeth intact. Today, your Santa Monica Dental Arts in California is here to explain when this process is necessary.

In today’s blog, we are here to talk about how this treatment can save you from needing a root canal treatment later.
