Root canal treatment aims to reduce infection in your teeth and protect their natural form and function.
It is a simple and effective treatment that preserves one's teeth.
This treatment is necessary when the pulp (innermost part of the tooth) that has the blood vessels and nerves becomes infected or inflamed. Often this occurs due to deep decay in the tooth. Additionally, a sports injury or fall, a crack, or a chipped tooth may cause damage to the pulp tissue.
Delaying treatment can lead to infection around the teeth, gums, bone, or face.
