Root canal treatment removes an inflamed or dead tooth nerve, then cleans, shapes and seals the root canals. The goal is to save the tooth instead of extracting it.
With modern rotary systems and local anesthesia, most cases are completed comfortably in one or two visits. Afterwards the tooth is reinforced with a filling or crown.
