She also thanked her parents, well-wishers and all those present at the inaugural programme.

“Root canal treatment treats the soft pulp tissue inside the tooth. It is a treatment to repair and save a badly damaged or infected tooth instead of removing it. The procedure involves removing the damaged area of the tooth (the pulp) and cleaning and disinfecting it, then filling and sealing it. The common causes affecting the pulp are a cracked tooth, a deep cavity, repeated dental treatment to the tooth or trauma to it,” the update read.
