Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy is a dental procedure that involves removing infected or damaged tissue from the tooth’s root canal system, disinfecting it, and sealing it to save the tooth and alleviate pain.
What Is A Root Canal
A root canal is a dental procedure where the dentist removes the damaged or infected part of the inside of a tooth, including the nerve and blood vessels.When this happens, it can cause a lot of pain and discomfort.
A root canal fixes the problem inside the tooth to relieve pain, prevent further infection, and save the tooth from being extracted. They will numb the area so you don’t feel any pain, and then they’ll make a very small hole in the top of your tooth to get inside.Once they’re inside, they’ll clean out the infection and fill the space to help protect the tooth and restore its function.
Why A Root Canal Is Recommended
A root canal is done to remove infection and save the tooth from needing to be pulled.
