What is Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy is a dental procedure that treats infection or inflammation within the pulp of a tooth—the soft tissue containing nerves and blood vessels. When this tissue becomes infected due to decay, trauma, or cracks, a root canal removes the damaged pulp, cleans the inner canals, and seals the tooth to prevent further infection.
After treatment, the tooth is restored so it can continue to function normally.
When is Root Canal Therapy Needed
Root canal therapy may be recommended when a tooth shows signs of infection or deep damage, including:
- Persistent or severe tooth pain
- Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers
- Swelling or tenderness in the gums
- Darkening or discoloration of a tooth
- Pain when chewing or biting
- An abscess or pimple-like bump on the gums
Prompt treatment helps prevent the spread of infection and protects surrounding teeth.
What to Expect During Root Canal Treatment
Examination & Diagnosis
The affected tooth is examined, and X-rays may be taken to assess the extent of infection.
Comfort & Preparation
Local anesthesia is used to ensure a comfortable experience throughout the procedure.
Removal of Infected Tissue
The infected pulp is carefully removed, and the root canals are cleaned and disinfected.
Sealing the Tooth
The canals are filled and sealed to prevent reinfection and strengthen the tooth.
Final Restoration
A crown or filling is placed to restore function and protect the treated tooth long term.
