What is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is a dental procedure aimed at saving a tooth by removing infected or damaged tissue from inside it. This treatment involves removing the infected pulp, nerves, and blood vessels to prevent tooth extraction.

The Root Canal Process:
- Consultation and Diagnosis: The dentist examines the tooth and takes X-rays to assess the extent of the damage.
- Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is administered to numb the tooth and surrounding area.
- Access: The dentist creates an access hole in the tooth to reach the pulp chamber.
- Removal of Infected Tissue: Infected pulp, nerves, and blood vessels are removed using specialized instruments.
- Cleaning and Shaping: The canal is cleaned, shaped, and prepared for filling.
- Filling: The canal is filled with a special material to seal the tooth.
