More about Root Canal Treatment
Inside every tooth is a soft tissue called pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels. When this tissue becomes infected or inflamed — often due to deep decay, a crack, or trauma — it can cause severe pain and swelling. A root canal removes that damaged tissue, cleans and shapes the inner canals, and seals the space to prevent reinfection. The tooth is then restored with a crown for strength. Far from being painful, root canal therapy is the treatment that stops the pain and lets you keep your natural tooth.
