Root canal treatment which is also called endodontic treatment is a dental procedure that relieves pain caused by an infected or abscessed tooth. During the root canal process, the inflamed pulp is removed. The surfaces inside the tooth are then cleaned and disinfected, and a filling is placed to seal the space. Root canal treatment is not painful and can save a tooth that might otherwise have to be removed completely. At Cure-Dents Dental Clinics, you can get your root-canal treatment.
