What Is Root Canal Therapy?
Root canal therapy is a restorative dental procedure that removes infected or inflamed tissue from inside a tooth, cleans the root canals, and seals the tooth to prevent future infection.
Root canal treatment can:
- Relieve tooth pain
- Eliminate infection
- Save a natural tooth

Preserving your natural tooth is often the best option for maintaining long term oral health.
