What Is a Root Canal?
A root canal is a restorative dental procedure used to treat infection or damage inside the tooth. Beneath the outer enamel and dentin layers is soft tissue called the pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels. When the pulp becomes infected due to deep decay, cracks, trauma, or severe damage, root canal therapy may be necessary to save the tooth and prevent the infection from spreading.
During treatment, the infected tissue is carefully removed, the inside of the tooth is cleaned and disinfected, and the tooth is sealed to protect it from future infection. In many cases, a dental crown is recommended afterward to strengthen and restore the tooth.
Signs You May Need a Root Canal
Some patients experience significant discomfort before realizing they may need treatment. Common symptoms that could indicate the need for a root canal include:
- Persistent tooth pain
- Sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures
- Swelling near the gums
- Tooth discoloration
- Pain while chewing
- Dental abscesses or infection
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, our team can evaluate your condition and recommend the appropriate treatment.
