Root Canal Treatment

A root canal is a dental procedure that treats infection or inflammation in the tooth’s nerve. The process involves removing the nerve, cleaning and disinfecting the tooth, and filling the root canals to prevent further infection, allowing the tooth to be retained.

Modern techniques ensure that patients feel minimal pain, with discomfort manageable by over-the-counter pain relievers. Typically, treatment can be completed in one or two visits, after which a permanent filling or crown is placed by the dentist.
