What Is a Root Canal?

A root canal is a procedure used to treat infection or inflammation inside the tooth, typically caused by deep decay, trauma, or a cracked tooth. During the treatment, the infected pulp is removed, the inside of the tooth is cleaned and disinfected, and then sealed with a protective filling or crown.

Despite its reputation, a root canal is not painful—it’s a pain-relieving procedure that allows you to keep your natural tooth instead of losing it.

Signs You May Need a Root Canal

You might need root canal therapy if you experience:

  • Persistent tooth pain or pressure
  • Sensitivity to hot or cold
  • Swollen or tender gums near the tooth
  • A darkening or discoloration of the tooth
  • A bump (abscess) on the gums
  • Pain when chewing or touching the tooth

If you have any of these symptoms, contact us right away for an evaluation.

What to Expect During Root Canal Treatment

Diagnosis & Imaging
We take digital X-rays to locate the infection and determine the extent of the damage.

Numbing the Area
Local anesthetic is used to fully numb the tooth and surrounding area so you feel no discomfort.

Pulp Removal & Cleaning
The infected pulp is removed, and the inside of the tooth is cleaned, shaped, and disinfected.

Filling & Sealing
The root canals are filled and sealed. In most cases, a crown will be placed afterward to protect and strengthen the tooth.

Aftercare & Recovery

Mild soreness for a few days is normal and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.

  • Avoid chewing on the treated tooth until a crown is placed.
  • Practice good oral hygiene to help the tooth heal properly.
  • Attend follow-up appointments for any needed restorations.

A properly treated and restored tooth can last a lifetime.

FAQs

What happens if I delay treatment?2025-05-06T10:24:52-04:00
