What is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment (endodontic therapy) removes infected or damaged pulp from inside a tooth, cleans and shapes the root canals, and fills them to prevent reinfection. This saves the natural tooth rather than extracting it—preserving your smile and chewing function.
What to Know Before You Go
Pro Tip:
Plan for a crown after root canal treatment to protect the weakened tooth. Many patients combine both treatments in one Turkey visit, saving time and money.
Insider Note:
Modern root canal treatment is virtually painless. Advanced anesthesia and techniques make the procedure comfortable — don't delay needed treatment due to outdated fears about root canals.
