What is a Root Canal?

A root canal is a dental procedure used to treat infection or damage within the pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth). The pulp contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue, and when it becomes infected due to decay, injury, or other factors, a root canal can save the tooth from extraction. During the procedure, the dentist removes the infected pulp, cleans and disinfects the inner chamber, and then seals the tooth to prevent future infection. In many cases, a crown is placed on the tooth to restore its function and appearance.

Signs You May Need a Root Canal

Severe Tooth Pain: Persistent pain, especially when chewing or applying pressure, is a common sign of infection.
Sensitivity to Hot or Cold: Unexplained or prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures may indicate a problem with the tooth’s pulp.
Swelling and Tenderness: Swelling in the gums near the affected tooth or tenderness to touch may be signs of infection.
Discoloration of the Tooth: If your tooth becomes darker or discolored, it may be a sign of internal damage.

The Root Canal Procedure

Consultation and Evaluation: First, we'll take X-rays of the affected tooth and conduct a thorough examination to assess the extent of the damage or infection. This helps us determine if a root canal is the best treatment option.
Numbing the Area: Local anesthesia will be applied to numb the tooth and surrounding area, ensuring that you are comfortable throughout the procedure. Sedation options are available for those who experience dental anxiety.
Accessing the Tooth: Once the area is numb, the dentist will create a small opening in the top of the tooth to access the pulp chamber. This is where the infected tissue will be removed.
