Effective Root Canal Treatments

A root canal treatment can help relieve and eliminate your tooth pain. When the inside of a tooth becomes infected, this can result in pain and an infection under the tooth. A root canal treatment is the only way to heal this infection short of removing the tooth. The purpose of the root canal treatment is to prevent reinfection and to salvage the tooth. During a root canal, the inflamed or infected pulp is removed, and the inside of the tooth is carefully cleaned and disinfected, then filled and sealed for protection.
