What Is Root Canal Therapy?

A root canal is a procedure designed to treat infected or damaged pulp inside a tooth. This treatment removes the infection, relieves pain, and preserves your natural tooth structure. With modern advancements, root canal therapy is a straightforward and virtually painless way to restore your dental health.

Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is applied to ensure a painless procedure.

Removing the Infection: The damaged pulp is carefully removed, and the inside of the tooth is cleaned.

3

Filling and Sealing: The tooth is filled with a biocompatible material and sealed to prevent future infections.
