Root canal treatment removes infected or damaged pulp inside a tooth, cleaning and sealing the space to prevent further infection. It saves the natural tooth, relieves pain, and restores function, providing a lasting solution for tooth preservation and oral health.
Root canal treatment involves removing infected pulp from inside the tooth, cleaning and disinfecting the canals, then filling and sealing them. This prevents bacteria from returning, relieves pain, and preserves the tooth’s structure and function for long-term health.
Root canal treatment relieves severe tooth pain caused by infection or decay. It saves the natural tooth from extraction, prevents the spread of infection, and restores chewing ability, helping patients maintain a healthy, functional smile with lasting comfort and confidence.
