Root canal therapy is a critical dental procedure designed to treat problems related to the inner tooth or pulp that if left untreated, can lead to severe infection and even tooth loss. The process involves removing the infected or inflamed pulp, carefully cleaning and disinfecting the inside of the tooth, followed by filling and sealing it to prevent further infection.

• Effective Pain Relief: Root canal therapy is highly effective in eliminating pain caused by deep decay or infection in the pulp of the tooth.
• Tooth Preservation: This treatment allows for the saving of a tooth that might otherwise need to be extracted, maintaining your natural smile and bite.
• Prevention of Spread of Infection: By treating the infection, root canal therapy prevents it from spreading to other teeth or into the jaw and other facial structures.
• Improved Overall Dental Health: A successful root canal treatment contributes to overall dental health by preserving the tooth and its surrounding tissues.
