Root Canal Treatment
What Is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment is a procedure used to save a tooth that has become infected or severely inflamed inside the pulp. Rather than removing the tooth, the infected tissue is removed, the canal is cleaned, and the tooth is sealed.
At Dr. Sonam Rambhia, DDS, root canal treatment focuses on relieving pain, eliminating infection, and preserving natural teeth whenever possible.
