Root canal treatment is a dental procedure used to treat infection or damage inside a tooth. When the inner pulp becomes infected due to deep decay, cracks, or trauma, it can cause pain and sensitivity. The treatment involves carefully removing the infected tissue, cleaning the inside of the tooth, and sealing it to prevent further infection.
This procedure helps save a natural tooth that might otherwise need to be removed. Root canal treatment is carried out under local anaesthetic to ensure comfort, and most patients experience relief from pain once the infection is treated. After the procedure, the tooth is usually restored with a filling or crown to protect and strengthen it.
