ROOT CANAL THERAPY

---

Root canal therapy is a dental procedure performed to remove the infected or damaged pulp from the root canal system of a tooth. The root canal system consists of tiny canals that run from the pulp chamber in the center of the tooth to the tips of the roots. During the procedure, the dentist will remove the damaged pulp, clean and shape the canals, fill them with a special material, and then seal the tooth. A permanent filling or crown will be placed on the tooth to restore its strength and function. Root canal therapy is a common procedure in dentistry and can help alleviate pain and discomfort caused by infected or damaged tooth pulp.
