What is a Root Canal?

Understanding the Procedure

A root canal is a treatment used to repair and save a tooth that is badly decayed or infected. During the procedure, the damaged or infected pulp inside the tooth is removed, and the inside of the tooth is cleaned and sealed. This helps to eliminate pain and prevent further infection, allowing you to keep your natural tooth.

Signs You Might Need a Root Canal

Persistent Pain

Continuous tooth pain that doesn’t go away with over-the-counter pain relief.

Sensitivity

Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures, even after the source is removed.

Swelling and Tenderness

Swelling in the gums around the affected tooth.

Discoloration

Darkening or discoloration of the tooth.

Pimple on the Gums

A recurring pimple or bump on the gums near the painful tooth.

Benefits

Why Choose a Root Canal?

  • Pain Relief: Eliminates the source of pain and infection, providing immediate relief.

  • Saves Your Natural Tooth: Preserves your natural tooth structure, which is always preferable to extraction.

  • Prevents Further Damage: Stops the spread of infection to neighboring teeth and gums.

  • Improves Oral Health: Restores the health and function of your tooth, allowing you to chew and speak properly.
