What’s Involved in A Root Canal Procedure?

Root canal therapy is a common procedure performed to treat an infected or inflamed dental pulp. The procedure involves removing the damaged pulp tissue from the tooth, then cleaning and sealing the tooth to prevent further infection. 


As with all endodontic procedures, the main goal of root canal treatment is to save the tooth so it can continue to function properly. Endodontic treatments can be used to save a tooth that has been damaged by decay, infection, trauma or other factors.
