Root canal treatments
A root canal, sometimes referred to as endodontic treatment, is a dental operation performed to treat pulp damage or infection. In this procedure, the diseased pulp is removed, the root canals are cleaned and disinfected, and a filling substance is used to close them. This procedure reduces discomfort, restores normal function, and helps prevent the tooth from being removed. The tooth’s structure can be preserved and more decay or infection can be avoided with endodontic therapy.
