Endodontic Treatment: Understanding Root Canal Therapy
When the inside of a tooth becomes infected or severely damaged, endodontic treatment — commonly known as root canal therapy — can help save the tooth and relieve pain. This procedure focuses on treating the soft tissue inside the tooth, called the pulp, which can become inflamed due to deep decay, cracks, or trauma. During a root canal, the infected tissue is carefully removed, the space is cleaned and disinfected, and then sealed to prevent future infection. Thanks to modern techniques and local anesthesia, root canals are more comfortable than ever and often feel no different than getting a routine filling.
