Root canal therapy is a procedure that removes the nerve tissue and fills the space with a special biocompatible material. By treating or removing only the blood vessels and nerve tissue infected by decay or bacteria, we can preserve the tooth for continued use without extracting it.

Root canal therapy is the last treatment option to save a tooth before extraction. That's exactly why it requires the experience and expertise of a skilled provider.
Since the tooth is weakened,
avoid chewing hard foods.
If you experience temporary pain,
you may take pain relievers or antibiotics.
Keeping the tooth under treatment clean is important.
You may experience discomfort while chewing for 2–3 weeks even after treatment is complete.
Because the pulp tissue has been removed, the tooth becomes more brittle and vulnerable to impact, so crown placement is needed to protect it.
