Pain Relief 

One of the primary benefits of a root canal is the relief of severe tooth pain. When the pulp inside the tooth becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, cracks, or trauma, it can cause excruciating pain and sensitivity. Root canal treatment eliminates the source of the pain by removing the infected tissue, providing immediate relief. 

Infection Removal 

Root canals are performed to treat infected teeth and prevent the spread of infection to other areas of the mouth or the body. The dentist removes bacteria by cleaning and disinfecting the tooth’s inner chamber, reducing the risk of further complications and preserving the natural tooth structure. 

Preservation of Natural Teeth 

Root canal treatment aims to save the natural tooth rather than extracting it. Preserving the tooth is crucial for maintaining proper oral function and aesthetics and preventing adjacent teeth from shifting out of position. Keeping the natural tooth also avoids needing more extensive dental treatments, such as dental implants or bridges.
