Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment is a procedure performed when the nerves and blood vessels inside the tooth (dental pulp) are damaged or infected due to decay, injury, or infection. During this treatment, the infected tissue inside the tooth is cleaned, the root canals are shaped, and the cleaned area is then filled with a special filling material.
The purpose of root canal treatment is to save the tooth and prevent the spread of infection. After the treatment, the outer part of the tooth is usually restored with a crown or filling. Root canal treatment helps preserve the tooth instead of extracting it, allowing it to function for a long time.
