Root Canal Treatment to Save Your Natural Tooth
You can save an infected or damaged tooth with root canal treatment. Your dentist removes the infected pulp, cleans the inside of the tooth, and seals it to prevent further issues. This procedure relieves pain, restores function, and helps you keep your natural tooth.

- Cleaning and Sealing: The inner canals are cleaned, disinfected, and filled with a protective material to prevent reinfection.
