What is a Root Canal?

A root canal is a dental procedure used to treat infection at the center of a tooth (the root canal system). It involves removing the damaged area of the tooth (the pulp), cleaning and disinfecting it, and then filling and sealing it to prevent further infection. Root canals can save teeth that might otherwise need to be extracted.

Signs You May Need a Root Canal

Knowing the signs that may indicate the need for a root canal can help you seek timely treatment. These include:

• Severe toothache pain upon chewing or application of pressure
• Prolonged sensitivity or pain in response to hot and cold temperatures
• Discoloration or darkening of the tooth
• Swelling and tenderness in the nearby gums
• A persistent or recurring pimple on the gums

Our Root Canal Procedure

Our root canal treatment involves several steps to ensure the best outcomes:

1. Diagnosis: Using advanced imaging techniques, we assess the extent of the infection and plan the treatment.
2. Anesthesia: To ensure your comfort, local anesthesia is administered at the site of the affected tooth.
3. Pulp Removal: The infected or damaged pulp is carefully removed, and the inside of the tooth is cleaned and disinfected.
4. Filling and Sealing: The cleaned space is filled with a biocompatible material and sealed to prevent bacteria from entering.
5. Restoration: In most cases, a tooth that has had a root canal will need a crown to protect and restore it to full function.
