Root canal treatment (endodontic therapy) saves a badly infected or damaged tooth by removing the infected pulp, cleaning and disinfecting the inside of the tooth, then filling and sealing it. This prevents the need for extraction.
Despite its reputation, modern root canal treatment is no more uncomfortable than getting a filling. With today's techniques and anesthetics, most patients report little to no pain during or after the procedure.
After root canal treatment, the tooth usually needs a crown to protect it and restore full function. This allows you to keep your natural tooth for many years.
