What is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is a dental procedure used to treat infection or inflammation inside a tooth. When the pulp (the soft tissue containing nerves and blood vessels) becomes infected due to deep decay, cracks, or trauma, a root canal removes the affected tissue, cleans and disinfects the root canals, and seals the tooth to preserve it.
How Does Root Canal Treatment Help and What Are the Benefits?
Root canal therapy is a highly effective way to save a natural tooth and eliminate pain:
- Relieves toothache, pressure, and sensitivity.
- Stops the spread of infection.
- Saves the natural tooth from extraction.
- Restores function for chewing and speaking.
- Prevents jawbone deterioration.
- Offers long-lasting protection with a crown.
- Improves comfort and oral health.
