Everything you need to know about root canal procedure

United Dental Clinic18 Jun, 2024Health

Root canal treatment is important to keep your natural tooth and reduce pain. Contrary to popular belief, a root canal is safe, efficient, and comparatively painless. A root canal is a dental procedure that treats infection or damage to the pulp of the tooth. It is necessary when the pulp becomes infected or damaged due to: Deep Decay: Cavities reaching the roots. Repeated Procedures: Multiple treatments on a tooth. Cracks or Chips: Injuries exposing the inner pulp. Trauma: Pulp injury despite an intact outer tooth.
