What is a Root Canal?

Root canals are a common dental treatment used to address infected or severely damaged teeth. When the inner pulp of a tooth becomes infected due to decay, trauma, or a deep cavity, a root canal is often the best solution.

The root canal procedure involves removing the infected pulp, cleaning and disinfecting the inner chambers, and sealing the tooth to prevent future infections. This allows you to keep your natural tooth while eliminating pain and restoring functionality.

Benefits of Root Canals

Root canals are highly effective in treating tooth infections while preserving the natural structure of your tooth. At our dental practices, we offer root canal treatments designed to restore both the health and comfort of your smile.

Some key benefits of root canals include:

  • Alleviate dental pain and sensitivity by treating the source of the problem.
  • Avoid the need for dental extraction.
  • Prevent infection from spreading to the rest of the body.
  • Restore function and comfort to your smile.
  • Enjoy the results for years with proper care.

Candidates for Root Canal Therapy

If you’re experiencing persistent tooth pain, swelling, or sensitivity to hot and cold, you may need an emergency root canal. Teeth that are severely decayed, cracked, or infected are often ideal candidates for this procedure.
