Root canal treatment:

To eliminate bacteria from the dental canal, the inflamed or infected pulp is removed and the interior of the tooth is carefully disinfected, proceeding last with the sealing of the root canals to prevent these bacteria from re-entering the interior of the tooth. Once root canal treatment is complete, the tooth must be restored with a filling or even a crown to ensure protection and continue to function like any other tooth.

With proper care, most teeth that have received root canal treatment can last a lifetime.
