What is the root canal treatment???

“A root canal is a treatment to save a tooth that is badly infected or painful. Inside your tooth, there’s a soft tissue called the pulp, which has nerves and blood vessels. When it gets infected, it can cause pain, swelling, or even an abscess.

In the treatment, we numb your tooth so you don’t feel pain, then we make a small opening and carefully clean out the infection inside. After that, we fill and seal the space so the bacteria can’t come back. Finally, we usually place a crown to make the tooth strong again.

It helps keep your natural tooth in place, so you can chew normally and smile without problems.”
