Inside each tooth lies a soft centre called the pulp, containing nerves and blood vessels. Deep decay, cracked fillings, trauma or advanced gum disease allow bacteria to invade this space, causing inflammation and often severe pain. During a root‑canal procedure we remove the infected pulp, disinfect and shape the tiny canals, then seal them to protect the tooth for the long term.
