Root Canal
A root canal is a procedure to treat infection or damage within a tooth's pulp (the innermost part). It involves cleaning out the infected pulp, disinfecting the root canals, and sealing them. This procedure helps to save the natural tooth and eliminate pain caused by deep decay or injury.
Fillings
A filling is a dental procedure used to restore a tooth damaged by decay back to its normal function and shape. When a dentist removes the decayed material, they fill the cleaned cavity with a material such as composite resin, ceramic, or amalgam. This filling helps prevent further decay by sealing off spaces where bacteria can enter, while also restoring the tooth's structure and appearance.
Extraction
Extraction is the process of removing a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. This procedure is often done when a tooth is severely decayed, damaged, or impacted, and cannot be restored. Dentists may also recommend extraction in cases of overcrowding.
