Root canal treatment is the removal of the infected soft tissue within the tooth and its replacement by an artificial inert ‘filling’ material. This procedure basically saves the tooth and eliminates dental pain. You many need root canal for any of these reasons:
- Persistent toothache
- Decay of teeth or cavities which are deep
- Tooth becoming darker after an injury or trauma
- Swelling of gum near the tooth
- Tender gums or teeth
