Root Canal Treatment also is known as Endodontic Treatment is a procedure done when the tooth decay reaches the pulp (innermost layer of the tooth) causing inflammation. It is necessary to save the damaged tooth from extraction. The procedure involves:

Removal of inflamed or infected tooth material
Cleaning and disinfection
Filling and sealing with an inert material
Restoration and crown/cap
It is a multi-step procedure and may require multiple sittings.

WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES OF NOT GETTING A ROOT CANAL TREATMENT?

The bacteria from infection can enter into the tissues of gum and jaw which can cause a pus-filled abscess.
