Root canal treatment is the process of cleaning the inflamed or damaged tissues inside the tooth and filling them with a filling material. This procedure helps protect teeth and extend their lifespan while treating infections that occur in the teeth.

How is it done?

Root canal treatment is usually a procedure that takes several sessions. The dentist first cleans and shapes the inside of the tooth. Then, they clean the inflamed tissues and fill the canals with a special filling material. Finally, a protective crown may be applied to the top of the tooth.

Who Needs it?

People who have damage, inflammation, or infection inside their teeth usually need root canal treatment.
