What Is Root Canal Treatment?

Root canal treatment is used to save a damaged or infected tooth when the dental pulp (the living tissue inside the tooth) becomes inflamed or infected.

The treatment involves carefully removing infection from inside the root canal system before cleaning, disinfecting and sealing the tooth. This helps relieve pain, prevent further infection and preserve the natural tooth.

Without treatment, the infection may continue to spread and tooth extraction may become necessary.
