What it is
Root canal treatment removes infected, injured or dead pulp from inside a tooth. The canals are cleaned and sealed as part of treatment.
What a visit may involve
A dentist assesses the tooth and discusses treatment or referral. A filling or crown may be needed afterwards to restore and protect it.
Your dentist would explain the proposed approach, alternatives, potential risks and expected costs before any treatment decision.
A question to bring
to your dentist
What restoration and follow-up would this tooth need afterwards?
