What is Root Canal Therapy?
Root Canal Therapy, also known as endodontic treatment, is a highly successful and common procedure performed to save a damaged tooth when the pulp (the nerve, blood vessels, and connective tissue) becomes infected or inflamed.
This typically occurs due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures on the tooth, or a fracture. The procedure involves carefully removing the infected pulp, thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting the inner chamber of the tooth and the root canals, and then filling and sealing the space.
Finally, the tooth is often restored with a filling or a crown to protect it from future fracture. This specialised restorative dentistry procedure eliminates pain and prevents the spread of infection to the jawbone.
