Worried about a painful tooth? A root canal might be the solution. Don’t let the name scare you; modern root canal treatments are often painless and highly effective.

A root canal treatment aims to remove the infected or damaged pulp. The dentist carefully cleans and shapes the inside of the tooth, then fills and seals the space. This prevents further infection and allows you to keep your natural tooth.

Root canal treatment can relieve pain, eliminate infection, and preserve the natural tooth, often allowing patients to retain their original tooth rather than needing extraction.
