Root Canal Treatment
At Quality Dental Care, we provide expert root canal treatment to save damaged or infected teeth and restore oral health. A root canal is a highly effective procedure that removes infected pulp, alleviates pain, and preserves your natural tooth. Our experienced team ensures a comfortable and stress-free experience using the latest techniques and sedation options.
What is Root Canal Treatment?
A root canal is a dental procedure designed to remove infected or inflamed pulp inside a tooth. The pulp contains nerves and blood vessels, and when it becomes infected due to deep decay, cracks, or trauma, it can cause severe pain and swelling. During a root canal, the infected tissue is removed, and the inside of the tooth is cleaned, disinfected, and sealed to prevent further infection.

when chewing or applying pressure
Prolonged sensitivity
to hot or cold temperatures
