What Is Root Canal Therapy?
Root canal therapy is a procedure in which we remove damaged pulp from inside a tooth’s root canals. Once we remove the pulp, we fill in the tooth with a material called gutta percha that prevents future infection in the area. While this procedure may sound intimidating, it’s actually nothing to fear. Root canals can preserve your natural tooth and give you almost-instant pain relief caused by the diseased pulp!
