About Root Canal Treatment
Our teeth are not just a solid, tough structure in our body. It also has delicate parts with nerves, living tissues and blood vessels inside and any infection on these can cause severe pain and complications, if not attended to sooner. A root canal is one of the most commonly used dental treatments across the globe with over 15 million people getting it every year.
The root canal is a passageway inside your tooth, that connects a tooth’s pulp and the nerves. Any infection, decay, inflammation or trauma in this area unattended can lead to severe pain, abscess, deterioration of the bone and surrounding tooth etc. To prevent this or any further complications, root canal therapy is performed where the dentist removes any decay and that space is filled with medicated materials, to help the tooth get back to function normally.
