Unfortunately, teeth care unable to heal themselves, and if the infected nerve/pulp remains untreated, it could eventually lead to abscess or possible tooth loss. Root canal Treatment can be a critical dental treatment to save your teeth. To confirm the diagnosis, the dentist will examine the troublesome tooth and take X-rays.

What is the Root canal procedure?
When one undergoes a root canal, the inflamed or infected nerve/pulp is removed and the inside of the tooth is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected, then filled and sealed- the tooth remains but it’s no longer alive.
Root canal treatment can usually be completed in one or two appointments, depending on the condition of your tooth and your personal circumstances. After healing has occurred, a crown or other restoration will be placed on the tooth in order to protect it and restore it to full function.
