Root Canal Treatment

When a tooth becomes infected or severely inflamed, it can cause persistent pain, sensitivity, and swelling. A root canal is a restorative procedure designed to eliminate infection, relieve discomfort, and preserve your natural tooth.

Inside each tooth is a soft tissue called the pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels. When bacteria reach this inner layer—often due to deep decay, cracks, trauma, or large fillings—the pulp can become infected. Without treatment, the infection may spread and lead to more serious complications, including abscess formation and bone loss.

Root canal treatment gently removes the infected tissue from inside the tooth. The space is then carefully cleaned, disinfected, and sealed to prevent further infection. In most cases, a custom dental crown is placed over the treated tooth to restore its strength, function, and natural appearance.

Despite common misconceptions, modern root canal therapy is comfortable and highly effective. With advanced techniques and local anesthesia, most patients report that the procedure feels similar to having a routine filling. Best of all, it allows you to keep your natural tooth—maintaining proper bite alignment and protecting your overall oral health.
