- Root Canal Treatment: Root canal treatment is a procedure used to save a tooth that has been severely damaged or infected.

This treatment helps avoid tooth extraction while preserving the function and appearance of the tooth.
Benefits of Endodontics
Endodontics, particularly Root Canal Treatment, provides effective pain relief and preserves your natural tooth. It alleviates pain by removing infection or damage inside the tooth, prevents extraction, and seals the tooth to protect it from further infection. This treatment restores tooth function, enabling you to eat, speak, and smile comfortably. Root canal treatment is also a cost-effective alternative to other tooth replacement options, like implants, while maintaining your natural tooth.
