Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is a procedure designed to save a tooth that is badly infected or decayed. It involves removing the infected tissue inside the tooth, cleaning it thoroughly, and sealing it to prevent further damage. This can stop the pain and save your natural tooth, avoiding the need for extraction.
This is a common concern for many patients. Thanks to modern dental techniques and local anesthesia, root canal treatments are no more painful than getting a routine filling. Many patients report little to no discomfort during the procedure.
