Root Canal

Root canal treatment is a common procedure designed to save a tooth that is infected or severely damaged. If you’re experiencing persistent tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, or swelling around the tooth, a root canal may be necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions

What to Expect During a Root Canal

  1. Diagnosis: Your dentist will perform an examination and may take X-rays to assess the extent of the damage or infection.
  2. Local Anesthesia: To ensure your comfort, the area around the affected tooth will be numbed with local anesthesia.
  3. Removal of Infected Tissue: The dentist will create an opening in the crown of the tooth to access the pulp chamber and root canals, removing any infected or damaged tissue.
  4. Cleaning and Shaping: The inside of the tooth will be thoroughly cleaned and shaped to prepare it for filling.
  5. Filling the Tooth: Once cleaned, the tooth will be filled with a biocompatible material to seal the canals and prevent future infection.
  6. Restoration: In many cases, a crown or other restoration will be placed on the tooth to restore its strength and function.

Why Choose Root Canal Treatment?

  • Pain Relief: Root canal treatment alleviates the pain caused by infection or damage.
  • Tooth Preservation: It allows you to keep your natural tooth, which is crucial for maintaining proper bite and jaw alignment.
  • Prevent Further Issues: By treating the infection, you reduce the risk of it spreading to other teeth or causing more serious health problems.
