A root canal is a dental procedure that aims to treat infection or damage within the tooth’s pulp. During the procedure, the infected or damaged pulp is removed, the interior of the tooth is cleaned and disinfected, and then it is filled and sealed to prevent further infection.
What happens if I don’t get a root canal?
Like many other dental issues, patients may neglect to get a root canal due to cost, lack of understanding of its importance, or fear of the procedure. However, postponing this treatment can lead to severe consequences. The infection will worsen, jeopardising your oral health and potentially spreading to other parts of your body, which can be life-threatening in some cases.
