Root Canal Treatments

Root Canals

Root canal treatment is a dental procedure designed to save a severely damaged or infected tooth. It involves:

  1. Removing the infected or dead pulp tissue from inside the tooth.
  2. Cleaning, disinfecting, and shaping the root canal system.
  3. Filling and sealing the canal to prevent further infection.
  4. Restoring the tooth with a filling or crown to protect and strengthen it.

Who Needs a Root Canal?

You might need a root canal if you experience:

  • Persistent tooth pain or sensitivity to hot and cold.
  • Swelling or tenderness in the gums near the affected tooth.
  • Deep tooth decay or cavities that have reached the pulp.
  • A cracked, chipped, or severely damaged tooth.
  • Abscess or pus formation at the root of the tooth.

Root canal treatment is typically recommended by a dentist after a thorough examination.
