Root Canal Therapy

Root canal therapy is a dental procedure aimed at saving a tooth that has become infected or severely decayed. During the treatment, the dentist removes the infected pulp from inside the tooth, which contains nerves and blood vessels. After cleaning and disinfecting the root canals, the space is filled with a biocompatible material to seal it and prevent future infections.

This procedure alleviates pain and restores the tooth’s function, allowing you to maintain your natural smile. Contrary to common misconceptions, root canal therapy is often no more uncomfortable than having a routine filling. With modern techniques and anesthesia, patients can expect a relatively pain-free experience and a quick recovery. Following the procedure, a crown may be recommended to protect the tooth and restore its strength. Root canal therapy is a vital option for preserving your dental health and preventing the need for tooth extraction.
