Root Canal Norwich
A root canal is a dental procedure used to treat infection or damage within the tooth’s pulp, the soft tissue inside the tooth containing nerves and blood vessels. During the treatment, the dentist removes the infected or damaged pulp, cleans and shapes the root canals, and then fills and seals them to prevent further infection. This procedure saves a tooth that might otherwise need to be extracted and relieves pain caused by infection or inflammation.
