What Is Root Canal?
Root canal treatment is designed to eliminate bacteria from
the infected root canal, prevent reinfection of the tooth and
save the natural tooth. When one
undergoes a root canal, the inflamed or infected pulp is
removed and the
inside of the tooth is carefully cleaned and disinfected, then
filled and sealed.
Saving the natural tooth with root
canal treatment has many advantages:
•Efficient chewing
•Normal biting force and sensation
•Natural appearance
•Protects other teeth from excessive wear or
strain
