What Is a Root Canal?

A root canal is a dental procedure used to treat infection or inflammation inside a tooth. Inside each tooth is soft tissue called pulp that contains nerves and blood vessels.

When the pulp becomes infected because of:

  • Deep cavities
  • Cracked teeth
  • Trauma or injury
  • Repeated dental procedures
  • Untreated decay

the infection can spread and cause severe discomfort.

Root canal therapy removes the damaged tissue, cleans the inside of the tooth, and seals it to help prevent future infection.

What Is a Root Canal?

Signs You May Need Root Canal Treatment

You may need evaluation if you notice:

✓ Persistent tooth pain
✓ Sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures
✓ Swollen or tender gums
✓ Pain while chewing
✓ Darkening of a tooth
✓ Tooth abscess or infection

Even if pain comes and goes, early treatment may help avoid more extensive procedures.

Our Root Canal Process

1. Examination & Digital Imaging

Your dentist evaluates the tooth and confirms whether root canal therapy is recommended.

2. Comfortable Treatment

The infected pulp is removed while keeping the surrounding tooth structure intact.

3. Cleaning & Sealing

The inside of the tooth is cleaned and sealed.

4. Final Restoration

A filling or dental crown may be placed depending on the condition of the tooth.

Root Canal vs Tooth Extraction

Root canal treatment often allows you to:

  • Maintain natural chewing ability

Your dentist can recommend the best option based on your condition.
