With the exceptional skill and service of our team, we can offer our patients comfortable and satisfying endodontic care at Eldorado Dental. Root canal treatment usually involves the removal of tooth's pulp, a small thread-like tissue that was important for tooth development. The pulp is the soft tissue that contains the blood vessels, nerves and connective tissue of a tooth. It lies in a canal that runs through the center of the dentin-- the hard tissue on the side of the tooth that supports the outer layer of the tooth enamel. The crown (the portion of the tooth visible above the gums) contains the pulp chamber. The pulp extend from this chamber down through the root canal to the tip of the root that lies in the bone of the jaws. Teeth have only one pulp chamber but may have more than one root and several root canals.
