What Is a Root Canal?

A root canal (also called endodontic treatment) is a procedure that removes infected or damaged tissue (pulp) inside the tooth. This treatment allows us to save your natural tooth instead of removing it, helping you maintain a healthy, functional, and confident smile.

When Do You Need a Root Canal?

Root canal therapy may be necessary if you experience:

• Severe toothache or sensitivity

• Tooth decay that has reached the nerve

• Dental trauma or injury

• Cracked or broken fillings or crowns

• Abscess or infection

• Advanced wear or gum disease affecting the tooth

Early intervention can save your tooth and prevent further dental complications.

What to Expect During Root Canal Therapy

Our dentist ensures your treatment is comfortable and pain-free using modern techniques and anesthesia. Your root canal appointment may include:

1. Gentle numbing of the tooth for a pain-free experience

2. Removal of infected pulp using specialized instruments

3. Cleaning and disinfecting the canals

4. Filling and sealing the tooth to prevent reinfection

5. Optional dental crown placement for long-term strength and protection

With advanced technology, root canals are no more uncomfortable than a standard filling.
