What Is Root Canal Therapy?
Root canal therapy is a routine, highly effective treatment that saves a tooth that has been severely damaged or infected. Instead of removing the tooth, we clean out the infection and restore the structure of the tooth, helping you maintain a natural, healthy smile.
Once bacteria reach the inside of the tooth, a root canal becomes necessary to stop pain and prevent further complications. The procedure includes removing decay or damaged areas, creating a small opening to reach the infected inner tissue, cleaning and filling the inside of the tooth, and sealing it with a custom crown for protection. Local anesthetic is used throughout, and oral sedation is also available for those who feel especially anxious.
Signs of an Infected Tooth
You may need a root canal if you notice any of the following:
- Darkened appearance of the tooth
- Severe, persistent toothache
- Facial inflammation or localized swelling
- Open, draining sore on the gums
