Root Canal treatment
Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is a dental procedure used to treat infection at the center of a tooth (the root canal system). The treatment is necessary when the pulp (the soft tissue inside the root canal) becomes inflamed or infected. This can be due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures on the tooth, or a crack or chip in the tooth. If left untreated, the infection can cause pain or lead to an abscess.
