Root Canal Treatment Demystified
Having an infection or inflammation in the pulp of your tooth (the soft center of your tooth comprising nerves and soft tissue) may mean you have to undergo a root canal procedure. If left unaddressed, the problem may lead to a painful tooth, an abscessed tooth, and eventual tooth loss.
If your dentist has confirmed that you have an infected or inflamed pulp and recommended you get a root canal, you might want to know how the procedure is done to avoid surprises when you visit the dental office.
