What Is Root Canal Treatment?

Root canal treatment (endodontic therapy) involves removing infected or inflamed pulp tissue from inside the tooth, thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting the root canals, and sealing them to prevent further infection. It is a highly successful procedure aimed at preserving the natural tooth structure.
