What is Root Canal Therapy?
Root canal therapy is a dental procedure that removes infected pulp from the inside of your tooth. The dental pulp is the soft tissue within the tooth that contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. When the pulp becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, trauma, or other causes, it can cause significant pain and discomfort. This is where a root canal treatment can save your natural tooth from extraction.
