Description

Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is a dental procedure designed to treat infection or severe damage within the tooth’s inner structure, called the pulp. The tooth pulp, which consists of nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue, can become infected due to decay, cracks, trauma, or repeated dental procedures. Root canal treatment effectively removes the infected pulp, cleans and disinfects the inner tooth, and seals it to prevent further infection. This procedure can save a tooth that would otherwise need to be extracted, helping to maintain the natural structure and function of the mouth.
