Root canal treatment is a dental procedure used to repair and save a tooth that is badly decayed or infected. During a root canal treatment procedure, the nerve and pulp are removed and the inside of the tooth is cleaned and sealed. This procedure helps to prevent further infection and damage to the tooth, allowing you to conserve, keep, & save your natural tooth.
