Root canal treatment is used when infection, deep decay, or a crack reaches the nerve inside a tooth. The goal is to remove harmful bacteria, relieve pain, heal infection, and preserve the natural tooth whenever possible.
During root canal therapy, the infected or inflamed tissue inside the tooth is removed, the area is cleaned, and the tooth is sealed to help prevent reinfection.
The infected or inflamed inner tissue is carefully removed from inside the tooth.
The canal is cleaned, shaped, and sealed to help prevent reinfection.
A final restoration helps protect the tooth and bring back strength and function.
