What Is Root Canal Treatment?

Root canal treatment is performed when the inner part of the tooth, known as the pulp, becomes infected or inflamed due to decay, cracks, or trauma. The infected tissue is removed, the canal is cleaned and disinfected, and the tooth is sealed to prevent further infection.

The objective is to eliminate infection while preserving the natural tooth.
