Root Canals

A root canal is a simple and effective procedure to relieve dental pain and save an infected tooth. It’s typically needed when the tooth’s roots become inflamed or infected. During the procedure, an endodontist carefully removes bacteria, dead tissue, and the infected pulp from inside the tooth, cleans and disinfects the area, and then fills and seals the root canals.

The process begins with numbing the infected tooth. The dentist then makes a small opening in the crown of the tooth to access the pulp chamber. Special tools are used to clean the canals and remove the infection. After cleaning, the canals are shaped and filled with a sealing material to prevent further infection. Irrigation may also be used to ensure the canals are thoroughly cleaned.

Root canals are often recommended when there is deep infection. Without treatment, the infection can worsen, potentially leading to tooth extraction. By opting for a root canal, you can save your tooth and preserve your smile.
