WHAT IS ROOT CANAL TREATMENT?

A Root Canal Treatment is a dental procedure that involves removing the infected or damaged pulp from inside your tooth. The pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels, is cleaned out, and the inside of the tooth is disinfected. The tooth is then filled and sealed to prevent further infection, preserving the natural tooth and alleviating pain.

+ Removal of Infected Pulp: Root Canal Treatment involves removing the infected or damaged pulp (nerves & blood vessels) from inside of tooth, cleaning & disinfecting the area.

+Sealing and Restoration: The tooth is then filled, sealed, and often restored with a crown to prevent further infection and preserve the natural tooth.

Root Canal Treatment is a common and effective procedure performed to save teeth that would otherwise need to be extracted.
