Root canal treatment is a procedure designed to save a tooth that has been severely infected or damaged. During the procedure, the infected or damaged pulp inside the tooth is carefully removed, the root canal is cleaned and disinfected, and then sealed to prevent further infection. Root canal treatment not only relieves pain and discomfort but also allows you to retain your natural tooth, preserving your smile and oral health. It takes 3-4 visits depending on case complexity. There will be additional visits if there is the need of dental crown to protect the tooth.
