A root canal is a treatment designed to save and restore a tooth that has been damaged by deep decay or infection. Instead of removing the tooth, this procedure cleans and disinfects the inner chambers, removing bacteria and relieving pain. A biocompatible filling is then used to seal the tooth, preventing further infection. Root canals not only preserve your natural tooth but also restore its function, allowing you to bite and chew comfortably. With modern techniques and anesthesia, the procedure is gentle and effective, ensuring you can maintain a healthy, pain-free smile for years to come.
