A root canal is used to treat a tooth that has been severely damaged or contaminated. The nerve and pulp of a tooth may swell, causing the infection due to severe decay, repeated dental operations, or large fillings, as well as a crack or chip in the tooth. Owing to facial trauma, it can also damage the tooth pulp.

Root canal treatment has many advantages:

• ✧ It treats dental problems such as tooth erosion, gum swelling, and tooth root diseases.
• ✧ It retains facial features, eliminates the need for a permanent dental operation, and helps you eat the foods you love.
• ✧ The dental infection is treated with a root canal, which ensures that it does not spread to your jawbone.
