A root canal is a dental procedure used to save a damaged or infected tooth. Inside every tooth is a soft tissue called the pulp, which can become inflamed or infected due to deep decay, trauma, or cracks. When left untreated, this infection can spread and cause severe pain, abscesses, or even bone loss. During a root canal,
Dr. Kamila removes the infected pulp, cleans and disinfects the canals, and then seals the space. In most cases, a crown is placed afterward to protect and restore the tooth’s function. Root canals not only relieve pain but also preserve your natural teeth and prevent more invasive procedures like extractions or implants.
