Process of Root Canal Treatment
A root canal is a gentle and restorative procedure designed to relieve pain and save your natural tooth. After numbing the area, your dentist carefully removes infected or damaged pulp inside the tooth. The inner chamber is then cleaned, disinfected and sealed to prevent future infection.
A crown is usually placed afterward to protect the tooth and restore full function. With modern techniques, root canals are comfortable, highly effective and essential for preserving your natural smile.
