Root canal therapy treats infection or inflammation of the pulp, the soft tissue inside a tooth that contains nerves and blood vessels. Instead of removing the tooth, the procedure clears out the infected tissue so the tooth can be saved.
After numbing the tooth, your dentist makes a small opening, removes the infected pulp, and cleans and shapes the canals inside the roots. The canals are then filled and sealed, and the tooth is usually protected with a crown afterward to restore its strength.
A root canal relieves the throbbing pain and sensitivity caused by infection and stops the infection from spreading into the bone. Keeping your natural tooth preserves your bite and avoids the need for an implant or bridge.
