Root canal treatment is a common procedure used to save and repair a badly infected or decayed tooth. During the treatment, the infected pulp inside the tooth is removed, the area is cleaned, and then filled and sealed to prevent further infection. Despite its reputation, modern root canal therapy is typically painless and can often be completed in just one or two visits. It's a highly effective way to relieve tooth pain, preserve natural teeth, and restore oral health.
