Root Canal Treatment
Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment is a procedure that saves and restores teeth with infected or inflamed tissues inside the root canals. The access is made through a carious portion of teeth from where a small instrument called an ‘endodontic file’ is inserted.
This tool removes all infected material inside the root canal and cleans it to make way for the safe circulation of blood. For a severely damaged or diseased tooth root canal treatment is considered as a” life-saving” treatment.
