Root canal treatment is a dental procedure used to treat infection at the root canal. In this procedure, the bacterias in the root canal are removed. After the bacterias have been removed, the root canal is filled and the tooth sealed with a filling. It is applied under local anesthesia, so it is a painless procedure.
