Root canal treatment is designed to eliminate bacteria from the infected root canal, prevent reinfection and save your natural tooth. During a root canal, the infected soft tissue in the canal is removed and carefully cleaned and disinfected. It is then filled and sealed. The tissues surrounding the tooth will continue to nourish it and keep it healthy.
A Root Canal can be treated in one or two appointments. You will experience little to no pain and may even return to school or work after the procedure. Though you may feel some discomfort during recovery, it is better to fix it now rather than later.
