Root Canal

How Root Canal Treatment Can Save Your Tooth

A root canal is a dental procedure that involves removing the infected or damaged pulp from inside a tooth. This treatment is essential to save a tooth that would otherwise need to be extracted. By cleaning out the infection and sealing the tooth, root canal treatments restore damaged teeth to their original condition, prevent further infection, and allow you to keep all of your natural teeth.

Advantages of Root Canal Treatment

  • Tooth Preservation

    A root canal saves a tooth that would otherwise need to be extracted, preserving your natural smile.

  • Pain Relief

    The procedure eliminates the source of infection and pain, providing significant relief from discomfort.

  • Infection Prevention

    By removing the infected pulp and sealing the tooth, a root canal prevents the spread of infection to surrounding teeth and gums.

  • Restoration

    Root canals restore damaged teeth to their original condition, allowing for normal function and appearance.

Protect Your Smile with Root Canal

A root canal procedure starts with numbing the affected area to ensure comfort. The dentist then creates an opening in the tooth to access the infected or damaged pulp inside. Using specialized tools, the pulp is carefully removed, and the inside of the tooth is cleaned and disinfected. Once cleaned, the space is filled with a biocompatible material and sealed to prevent future infection. Finally, a crown or filling is placed on the tooth to restore its function and appearance, ensuring the tooth can function normally.
