About Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment removes infected or inflamed pulp from inside a tooth, cleans and shapes the root canals, and fills them to prevent reinfection. It saves a tooth that would otherwise need extraction. The procedure has a success rate of over 95%.

Anaesthesia: Local anaesthesia is typically used for this procedure.
