Root canal treatment is indicated when the inner part of the tooth (pulp) is inflamed or infected, usually as a result of deep cavities, fractures, extensive restorations or dental trauma.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

When performed with correct diagnosis, proper technique, and appropriate technology, it is a safe, effective, and essential procedure to eliminate pain and preserve the natural tooth.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>
