Root Canal Treatment

Root canal treatment is a dental procedure that relieves pain caused by an infected or abscessed tooth. During the root canal process, the inflamed pulp is removed. The surfaces inside the tooth are then cleaned and disinfected, and a filling is placed to seal the space.

After the pulp has been removed, your dentist will clean and enlarge the root canal. The root canal is usually very narrow, which makes it difficult to fill. Your dentist will use a series of small files to enlarge the canals and make them a regular shape so they can be filled.

A root canal treatment is a dental procedure to remove inflamed or infected pulp on the inside of the tooth which is then carefully cleaned and disinfected, then filled and sealed. Root canal treatment is designed to eliminate bacteria from the infected root canal, prevent reinfection of the tooth and save the natural tooth.
