Explaining the Process of Root Canal Therapy
The purpose of root canal treatment is to save a tooth that is affected by issues like deep decay, gum disease, trauma, or a fracture. These problems can lead to infection reaching the pulp, causing severe pain or abscesses. By removing the infected tissue, the spread of infection is stopped and the healthy part of the tooth is restored.
Root canal treatment is a straightforward and relatively painless procedure. It involves removing the damaged enamel and infected tissue, filling the cleaned space, and capping it with a porcelain crown. This process restores the health and appearance of the tooth, allowing you to both look and feel your best.
