Root Canal

R oot canal treatment is the removal of the tooth’s pulp, a small thread-like tissue in the center of the tooth. Once the pulp is damaged, infected or dead it should be immediately removed and the remaining space should be cleaned, reshaped and filled in. Years ago, a diseased tooth or a tooth with injured pulps should be entirely removed. Nowadays, the root canal treatment saves a lot of teeth that would otherwise have been lost.
