WHAT IS
Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment is a dental procedure used to treat infection at the center of a tooth caused by decay or injury. During this procedure, the infected pulp is removed and the inside of the tooth is cleaned and sealed. The goal of root canal treatment is to save the tooth while eliminating pain and restoring its function.
