What Is a Root Canal?
Root canal treatment, often simply referred to as a “root canal,” is a dental procedure designed to save an infected or decayed tooth. Contrary to common misconceptions, root canal therapy is not a painful procedure. A root canal is actually intended to alleviate pain and discomfort caused by infection or damage within the tooth’s pulp.
