Root canal treatment is a branch of dentistry that aims to repair and save a badly damaged or infected tooth instead of removing it. The term root canal comes from cleaning the dental canals of the root, which houses the pulp (Blood vessels, Nerves, connective tissue) and filling of canals of the root.
With the advancement in technology and local anesthetics Root canal treatment is often completed in single visit and relatively pain less. Root canal treatment is followed by post endodontic restoration like full coverage crown, inlay, onlay depending on the amount of tooth structure remaining.
Root Canal treatment is the ideal way to hold on your natural tooth, with extensive dental caries, dental trauma or as a part of planning prosthetics like crown & bridge.
