Root Canal Treatment
Designed to treat infections or damage within a tooth
It’s a dental procedure designed to treat infections or damage inside a tooth. It involves removing the dental pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth that contains nerves and blood vessels), followed by cleaning, disinfecting, and sealing the root canals. This treatment is recommended when the cavity is close to the nerve and is necessary when the pulp gets damaged or infected due to deep cavities. Its goal is to save the tooth and prevent it from being extracted.
