What is a root canal?
Root canal treatment (RCT), also known as endodontic treatment, or simply as root canal is a common dental procedure designed to save an infected tooth from extraction.
During this procedure, the infected pulp within the tooth is carefully removed, the interior of the tooth is cleaned and disinfected, and then filled and sealed to prevent further infection. This treatment aims to alleviate pain, preserve the natural tooth, and restore oral health.
