Root Canal
A root canal becomes necessary when the pulp inside a tooth becomes infected or severely damaged due to deep cavities, cracks, or trauma. When this happens, the tooth may cause intense pain, sensitivity, swelling, or even lead to an abscess, which can spread infection to surrounding tissues. If left untreated, it could ultimately result in tooth loss.
Root canal treatment removes the infected pulp, cleans the root canals, and seals the tooth to prevent further issues. This procedure not only alleviates pain but also saves your natural tooth, helping maintain proper dental health and function.

Frequently Asked Questions About Root Canal Treatment
A root canal involves removing infected or damaged pulp from a tooth, cleaning the root canals, and sealing it to prevent further infection.
Root canal treatment is typically not painful, as local anesthesia is used to numb the area, ensuring you remain comfortable throughout the procedure.
The procedure usually takes one to two hours, depending on the complexity of the tooth and the number of canals involved.
After treatment, the tooth may feel sensitive for a few days. A crown or filling is placed to restore the tooth’s function and strength.
