‍

What Is a Root Canal?

A root canal is a restorative procedure that removes infected or inflamed tissue from inside the tooth. Instead of removing the tooth, we carefully clean and restore it.

‍

During treatment, we:

• Remove infected pulp and bacteria
• Clean and shape the root canals
• Disinfect the inside of the tooth
• Seal the tooth to prevent reinfection
• restore it with a filling or crown when needed

This process relieves pain and restores strength and function.

‍

Why You Might Need Root Canal Therapy

Inside each tooth is soft tissure called pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels. When it becomes infected or irritated, treatment is needed to save the tooth.

‍

Common causes include:

• Deep decay or untreated cavities
• Cracked or fractured teeth
• Injury or trauma
• Repeated dental procedures on the same tooth

Without treatment, and infection can lead to:

• Severe tooth pain
• Swelling or abscess
• Bone loss around the root
• Tooth loss or spreading infection

‍

Benefits of Root Canal Treatment

• relieves pain and sensitivity
• Stops infection from spreading
• Restores normal chewing function
• Supports long-term oral health

Root canal therapy is a safe and reliable solution for treating infected teeth.

‍

How Long Does a Root Canal Last?

With proper care, a treated tooth can last for many years and often a lifetime.

• Brush twice daily
• Floss daily
• Visit your dentist every six months
• Protect the tooth with a crown if recommended
