What is Root Canal Treatment?
A root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is a dental procedure performed to save a severely infected or damaged tooth. When the inner pulp of the tooth becomes infected due to deep decay, a fracture, or trauma, root canal treatment removes the infected tissue, alleviating pain and preventing further complications. Despite common misconceptions, modern root canal procedures are pain-free, highly effective, and essential for preserving natural teeth.
