Root Canal Treatment
What is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment is a modern dental procedure used to save a severely decayed or infected tooth. It involves removing the damaged pulp from the center of the tooth, thoroughly cleaning and reshaping the canal, and filling it with a durable, biocompatible material. Contrary to common myths, a root canal is not painful—it’s no more uncomfortable than getting a standard cavity filled.
Who Needs Root Canal Treatment?
A root canal may be necessary when the pulp inside a tooth becomes inflamed, infected, or damaged due to deep decay, trauma, or repeated dental work. Common symptoms include persistent sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling, tenderness, or visible damage to the tooth. Without treatment, the infection can spread and lead to more serious complications or tooth loss.

What Are the Advantages of Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal therapy preserves your natural tooth, avoiding the need for extraction and preventing the spread of infection. It restores full chewing function, maintains jawbone integrity, and helps you avoid more costly dental procedures. With modern techniques, the procedure is safe, effective, and minimally uncomfortable.
