Root Canal Treatment

A root canal is a procedure performed to treat an infected or damaged tooth's pulp, which is the soft tissue inside the tooth. If a tooth is deeply decayed or injured, bacteria can enter and infect the pulp, causing pain and swelling. A root canal procedure involves removing the infected tissue, cleaning the inside of the tooth, and then sealing it to prevent further infection. This procedure can save a tooth from extraction and restore its function. Root canal therapy is typically followed by a crown to protect the treated tooth and ensure its strength.
