What happens during Root Canal Treatment?
A root canal treatment is a straightforward and tooth-saving procedure that addresses infection within your tooth's pulp, the soft tissue inside.
We carefully remove the damaged nerve, clean the inner canal(s), and seal it with a biocompatible material to prevent further issues. We often place a protective crown or onlay afterwards which helps to strengthen the tooth.
