Root canal treatment saves infected or severely damaged teeth by removing diseased pulp tissue, disinfecting the canals, and sealing them — eliminating pain and preserving the natural tooth.

Diagnostic X-rays and examination to assess the extent of infection and the tooth's root canal anatomy.
Local anesthesia is administered, and a rubber dam is placed to isolate the tooth and maintain a sterile field.
The dentist creates an access opening, removes the infected pulp tissue, and cleans and shapes the root canals using precision instruments.
The canals are disinfected with antimicrobial solutions and filled with a biocompatible material (gutta-percha) to seal them permanently.
A crown is placed over the treated tooth (usually at a subsequent appointment) to protect it and restore full function.
Mild tenderness for 2-3 days after treatment, manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers. Most patients return to normal activities the same day.
Pain relief is often immediate once the infected pulp is removed. The tooth is fully restored once a permanent crown is placed, typically 1-2 weeks after the root canal.
