What is the Root Canal Treatment?
When the pulp tissue[centre of the tooth] is infected or inflamed due to various reason, such as untreated decay, a crack in the tooth, leaky fillings, trauma, etc, root canal treatment is done to save the tooth. No matter what the triggering reason is, the root cause is the penetration of bacteria into the pulp/ tooth supply. During the root canal treatment, damaged tissue is removed, the canal is thoroughly cleaned and filled with fillers, and finally, the tooth is sealed. It is basically a method to save the natural tooth instead of removing it.
