What is a Root Canal?
A root canal is a treatment is used to repair and save a tooth that is badly decayed or infected. The tooth’s nerve can become irritated, inflamed, and infected due to a deep cavity
During a root canal procedure, the nerve and pulp of the tooth are removed. The narrow channels within the tooth are cleaned by using rotary flexible nickel-titanium files. The tooth is then sterilized and sealed with a permanent filling material for your comfort
