Root canal information and international destinations
A root canal is used when a deep cavity or broken tooth has caused swelling or necrosis of the pulp tissue. We advise you to only have an endodontist handle this.
The wounded pulp tissue from the root canal system is removed during this treatment, which is carried out under local anesthetic. The specialist will seal the tooth's root with a filling after completely cleaning it. Sometimes a tooth that needs a root canal can avoid being extracted.
