We do root canals to save a tooth that is severely infected or damaged.

The main reasons we do this procedure are:

To Remove Infection: The procedure eliminates bacteria and dead tissue inside the tooth 

To Prevent Spread: It stops the infection from spreading to other teeth and parts of the body 

To Relieve Pain: It alleviates the severe pain associated with tooth infection 

To Save the tooth: Allows the tooth to function and appear as normal, preventing the need for extraction 

Overall, root canals preserve dental health and help avoid further complications
