What Is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is a dental procedure used to treat infection or damage within the tooth’s pulp (the inner tissue containing nerves and blood vessels). When the pulp becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, cracks, or trauma, a root canal is performed to remove the damaged tissue, disinfect the area, and seal the tooth to prevent further infection.
