What’s a Root Canal Treatment?
A root canal treatment is a dental procedure to remove infected pulp (vital part of the tooth). It’s also known as endodontic treatment.
Every tooth has a system of canals that runs from the top to the bottom. Inside these canals are up to 4 bits filled with dental pulp, which is a mix of tissue, nerves, and blood vessels.
During a root canal treatment, any inflamed infected dental pulp is taken out from inside your tooth. Once the pulp’s out, the space is cleaned up, disinfected, and then filled and sealed. Then the chewing surface of your tooth might also get fixed up with a filling or a crown.
