Inside every tooth lies soft tissue called the pulp — a network of nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. When bacteria invade through deep decay, a crack, or trauma, the pulp becomes infected and inflamed, causing intense pain and threatening the tooth’s survival.

Root canal therapy (endodontic treatment) resolves this infection at its source. Your dentist carefully removes the damaged pulp, cleans and shapes the inner canals, and seals everything with a biocompatible filling. The result: your natural tooth stays in place, pain-free and fully functional.
