Root Canal Treatment is a procedure that treats infection or damage to the pulp (the soft tissue inside a tooth). It’s often necessary when the pulp becomes inflamed or infected due to deep decay in the tooth, or a crack in the tooth. The procedure involves removing the infected pulp, cleaning, and disinfecting the inside of the tooth, and then filling and sealing it. After a root canal, a crown or filling is usually placed in the tooth to restore its functionality and appearance.

Root canal helps save natural teeth and are an effective way to prevent the need for tooth extraction. While some discomfort may be experienced post-procedure, it’s typically well-managed with pain relief methods, making the process smoother and less painful than commonly perceived.
