Root Canal Therapy

Root canal therapy is a non-surgical endodontic procedure used to save a tooth that has become infected or damaged. Inside every tooth is soft tissue called the pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels. When the pulp becomes inflamed due to decay, trauma, cracks, or infection, root canal treatment helps remove the damaged tissue, eliminate bacteria, and restore the health of the tooth

What Is a Root Canal?

A root canal is designed to preserve your natural tooth whenever possible. Symptoms that may indicate the need for treatment include tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling, tenderness, or discomfort while chewing. In many cases, treatment can prevent the need for extraction.

How Is Root Canal Therapy Performed?

During the procedure, the infected pulp is carefully removed and the inside of the tooth is cleaned and disinfected. The canals are then sealed to protect the tooth from further infection. Most treatments can be completed in one or two visits, depending on the condition of the tooth.

Comfort During Treatment

We use modern techniques and local anesthesia to keep patients comfortable throughout treatment. Nitrous oxide sedation may also be available for patients who experience dental anxiety.

After Root Canal Treatment

After treatment, mild soreness or sensitivity may occur for a few days. Patients are encouraged to follow post-treatment instructions, maintain good oral hygiene, and contact the office if discomfort persists or if swelling develops.

Benefits of Root Canal Therapy

Root canal therapy helps preserve your natural smile, maintain normal biting function, and prevent surrounding teeth from shifting. In many cases, saving the natural tooth is more cost-effective and beneficial than extraction and replacement.
