A root canal is a dental procedure that involves the removal of the tooth's soft interior, or pulp. A root canal is performed when the pulp is injured, irritated, or infected. The crown of the tooth can remain intact even if the pulp is dead. The most effective way to preserve a tooth's structure is to remove infected or injured pulp. Root canal treatment is performed to save a tooth with a deep cavity, a fracture, or an infection. Are you suffering from dental problems? Just visit our dental clinic in Ghatkopar.
