Root Canal Treatment, is the part of dentistry that deals with the inner portion of your tooth, which is commonly called the nerve.
When there is a large decay in a tooth, sometime when we place an extensive restoration (filling or crown) or if the tooth has been subjected to trauma, the pulp may become inflamed or may die.
This procedure involves dentist removing the inflamed, infected or necrotic nerve from inside your tooth, carefully cleansing the tooth and placing a root filling material into the root where the nerve originally was so that the root is sealed from your mouth and no infection can enter your jaw through the tooth.
