Root canal treatment is sometimes the only way to save a tooth that would otherwise have to be extracted. This procedure, done under local anesthesia, may sometimes also be necessary before restoring a badly damaged tooth.
In practical terms, root canal treatments are intended to remove inflamed or infected pulp (soft tissue containing nerves and blood vessels) found inside a tooth. Once the pulp is removed, the canal is disinfected and then enlarged. The canal is then sealed with a cement and a rubber-like material called gutta-percha.
Once the root canal treatment is completed, the tooth can be restored. Various alternatives are then available, depending on the condition of the tooth.
