Root Canals

Save Your Natural Tooth with Root Canal Treatment
A root canal is a specialized dental procedure used to treat infection or damage deep inside a tooth. When the soft tissue (pulp) inside a tooth becomes infected due to deep decay, cracks, or injury, it can cause severe pain and swelling. Root canal treatment helps remove the infected pulp, clean the inside of the tooth, and seal it—saving your natural tooth and relieving discomfort.

What Happens During a Root Canal?
The treatment usually involves one or two visits. First, the dentist numbs the area to ensure you’re comfortable. Then, a small opening is made in the tooth to access and remove the infected pulp. The root canals are carefully cleaned, shaped, and disinfected. After that, the space is filled and sealed with a special material. In most cases, a dental crown is placed afterward to restore the tooth’s strength and function.

Why Root Canal is Important
Root canal treatment is a safe, effective way to save a tooth that might otherwise need to be removed. It not only stops pain but also prevents the infection from spreading to nearby teeth or tissues. Keeping your natural tooth helps maintain your bite, jawbone strength, and overall oral health. With proper care, a root canal-treated tooth can last as long as your other teeth, letting you smile, chew, and speak comfortably again.
