Root Canal Treatment
A root canal is a dental procedure used to save a tooth that is badly decayed or infected. Inside the tooth is soft tissue called pulp, which can become inflamed due to deep cavities, cracks, or trauma. During treatment, the infected pulp is removed, the inside of the tooth is carefully cleaned and shaped, then filled and sealed to prevent reinfection. Root canals help relieve pain, stop the spread of infection, and allow you to keep your natural tooth.
