What is root canal treatment?

Root Canal Treatment is a procedure that removes inflamed or dead pulp inside the tooth, cleans and sterilizes the root canals, and then fills them. The goal is to save the tooth from being extracted — it will remain in your mouth and be used for chewing after the crown is placed.

Root Canal treatment removes inflamed tissue inside the tooth, cleans the canals, and fills them to protect the tooth. The myth that treatment is “very painful” — the reality is that the pain before treatment is more severe, and treatment relieves it. After the session, we often recommend a crown to protect the tooth.
