What is a Root Canal Treatment?

The tooth pulp is a soft tissue which contains blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissues. It can be infected for a number of reasons including tooth decay. Once infected, a dental abscess forms and can lead to eventual tooth loss.

A root canal treatment stops the infection from worsening by removing the pulp, cleaning the inside of the tooth, and replacing it with a filling.

The success rate for a root canal treatment is quite high. About 90 to 95 percent of patients who had the procedure had a fully functional tooth after the treatment. Coupled with good oral hygiene and proper care, the treated tooth can last a long time.
