Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is a procedure used to treat infection or inflammation inside a tooth. The treatment involves:
- Removing the infected or damaged pulp: The soft tissue inside the tooth that contains nerves and blood vessels.
- Cleaning and disinfecting: Thoroughly cleaning the root canals to eliminate bacteria and prevent further infection.
- Filling and sealing: Filling the cleaned canals with a biocompatible material and sealing the tooth to prevent reinfection.
