What is a Root Canal Treatment?

A root canal treatment is designed to clean out an infection that is present within the root of the tooth. When a tooth has decayed or been damaged, it is possible for the infection to spread through the inside of the tooth and impact the root. As a result, there is a risk of the infection continuing to spread, and could eventually lead to a tooth extraction if it is left untreated.

When a root canal filling is done, the inside of the tooth is cleaned out to remove the infection. Then, the root of the tooth is sealed and filled in, to protect the tooth and help you maintain a healthy smile. A root canal is beneficial to relieve the pain that you have been experiencing, and many times this treatment can be used to help you avoid tooth extraction.

Do You Need Root Canal Therapy?

The only way to determine if you need root canal therapy is by talking with an experienced dentist. We invite you to schedule an appointment with our office for more information. During the appointment, our staff will complete a thorough examination in order to determine the dental treatments that will be best to help you maintain a healthy and beautiful smile.

Signs You May Need a Root Canal

A root canal treats infection deep inside a tooth, in the soft pulp that holds its nerves and blood vessels. Common warning signs include lingering tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold that doesn’t fade, tenderness or swelling in the gums, or a tooth that’s darkening. Left untreated, the infection can spread and put the tooth at risk. The good news is that modern root canal treatment is comfortable, usually no more involved than a filling, and it lets us save your natural tooth instead of removing it. If you’re noticing any of these symptoms, call us for an evaluation.
