Endodontic treatment commonly known as a root canal, focuses on saving teeth with damaged or diseased pulp, the soft tissue inside the tooth containing nerves and blood vessels. When the pulp becomes inflamed or infected, it can cause intense pain and sensitivity, often requiring prompt intervention. Successful endodontic treatment should alleviate pain, address infection, and preserve the tooth's functionality.
Benefits of Endodontic Treatment:
Saves natural teeth, avoiding the need for extraction and replacement.
Relieves pain and discomfort associated with pulp inflammation or infection.
Prevents further damage to the tooth and surrounding structures.
Restores tooth function and chewing ability.
Contributes to overall oral health and well-being.
