What Is a Root Canal?
A root canal is a dental procedure for saving one or more severely decayed, damaged, or infected teeth. The insides of teeth are filled with a material called pulp. When the pulp becomes infected, it can cause immense pain and suffering. During a root canal, we remove the compromised pulp from the affected tooth. Then, we clean, disinfect, and seal the tooth to prevent further infection or harm.
