What Is Root Canal Therapy?
Root canal therapy is a common and straightforward procedure that allows us to save a severely decayed or damaged tooth. Instead of removing the tooth, we clean out the infection inside and protect it from future problems.
This treatment is designed to stop pain and restore the health of your tooth once bacteria have reached the inner chamber. The procedure includes the following steps:
- Removing decay or damaged areas of the tooth
- Creating a small opening to reach the infected inner tissue
- Cleaning and filling the inside of the tooth with gutta-percha
- Sealing and restoring the tooth with a custom dental crown
We use local anesthetic to make the process comfortable. For anxious patients, we also offer oral sedation to help the experience feel more manageable.
Signs of an Infected Tooth
If you notice any of these symptoms, you may need a root canal:
- Darkened appearance of the tooth
- Severe, persistent toothache
- Facial inflammation or localized swelling
- Open, draining sore on the gums
