Root Canal Therapy

Root canal therapy focuses on treating the inside of your tooth. These treatments relieve severe pain caused by deep tooth decay that has infected the tooth pulp. If left untreated, such infections can spread, leading to abscesses and other serious conditions. Root canals remove this infected or dead pulp, thereby saving the tooth and preventing the spread of infection. The procedure involves cleaning and sealing the tooth, followed by a permanent prosthetic (often a dental crown) to restore strength. Regular check-ups are crucial, and with proper aftercare and hygiene, a root canal ensures the long-term health of the treated tooth, contributing to a lifetime of healthy teeth.
