Root Canal Treatment
Root Canal Treatment
Root Canal Treatment is also known as endodontic therapy. In simple terms, it is the dental treatment to remove any infection from inside your tooth.
Root Canal is the pulp of the tooth that contains nerves and blood cells. These nerves give the sensation of hot and cold temperatures to the patients. The pulp may become infected due to certain reasons like tooth decay, chipping or cracking. In some other cases, repeated dental procedures on the same tooth may also result in pulp inflammation or infection.
As part of the Root Canal Treatment, first the infected pulp is removed and then the hollow part of the tooth is filled with a sealant. After the process, either a crown or fillings are used to restore and nourish the tooth.
