Root canal is treatment to repair and save a badly damaged or infected tooth instead of removing it. the procedure involves removing the damaged area of the tooth(the pulp)and cleaning and disinfecting it, then filling and sealing it.

There's no need to be worried if your dentist prescribes a root canal procedure to treat a damaged or diseased tooth. Millions of teeth are treated and saved this way each year, reliving pain and making teeth healthy again.

This tissue contain blood vessels, nerves and connective tissue, which help grow the root of your tooth during its development. fully developed tooth can survive without the pulp because the tooth continues to be nourished by the tissue surrounding it.

It's very similar to a routine filling and can usually be completed in one or two appointments, depending on the condition of your tooth and your personal circumstances. Getting a root canal is relatively painless and extremely effective. You 'll be back to smiling, biting and chewing with ease in no time.
