Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is a dental procedure used to treat infections inside the tooth. The treatment involves removing the infected or damaged pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth), cleaning and disinfecting the inner space, and then filling and sealing it to prevent further infection. This procedure helps save the natural tooth, avoiding the need for extraction and preserving your smile.
