What are
Root Canal Treatment?
A root canal is a restorative dental procedure that removes infected or damaged pulp tissue from inside your tooth, cleans and disinfects the canal, and seals it to prevent further infection. It’s the go-to treatment for saving teeth that would otherwise need to be extracted—and it’s far more comfortable than most people expect.
