Root Canal Treatment

Root canal treatment is a dental procedure designed to save a tooth that is severely infected or decayed. The procedure involves removing the damaged or infected pulp from the inside of the tooth, cleaning and disinfecting the root canals, and then filling and sealing them to prevent further infection. Typically performed under local anesthesia, root canal treatment alleviates pain and eliminates the infection while preserving the natural tooth. After the root canal is completed, a crown or filling is usually placed on the tooth to restore its function and appearance. This treatment is highly effective and can prevent the need for tooth extraction, helping to maintain overall oral health and function. Root canal treatment has a high success rate and can provide long-lasting results, allowing patients to keep their natural teeth and avoid more extensive dental procedures.
