Root canal treatment is a dental procedure designed to save a tooth that has become severely infected or damaged due to decay or trauma. The treatment involves removing the infected or damaged pulp—the innermost part of the tooth that contains nerves and blood vessels. Once the pulp is removed, the root canals are cleaned, disinfected, and shaped to prepare them for a filling. The space is then filled with a biocompatible material and sealed to prevent future infection. Finally, the tooth is often restored with a crown to reinforce its structure and ensure it functions properly within the bite. Root canal treatment is a vital procedure for preserving a tooth that would otherwise need to be extracted.

Despite its reputation, root canal treatment is generally not more painful than having a routine filling and can relieve the significant pain caused by an infection. Advances in dental technology, such as digital imaging and improved anesthetics, have made the procedure more comfortable and efficient. Following a root canal, patients may experience some discomfort or sensitivity, but this typically resolves within a few days. With proper care and regular dental check-ups, a tooth that has undergone a root canal can remain functional and healthy for many years, making it a valuable option for maintaining oral health and preserving natural teeth.
