What to expect

When the soft tissue inside a tooth becomes inflamed or infected, root canal treatment cleans and seals the inside of the tooth so it can be kept rather than removed.

The tooth is numbed during treatment. Afterwards, a filling or crown protects it.

Every mouth is different. The dentist will confirm the right treatment for you after an examination.
