Root canal treatment

Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is a dental procedure aimed at saving a severely damaged or infected tooth. During this treatment, the dentist removes the infected pulp tissue from the tooth’s interior, cleans and disinfects the canals, and then seals the space to prevent further infection. Root canals relieve pain, preserve the natural tooth, and promote oral health. While the procedure may seem daunting, it is typically performed with local anesthesia, ensuring minimal discomfort for the patient. After a successful root canal, the tooth can function normally for many years with proper care.
