What is a Root Canal?
A root canal is a tooth-saving restorative procedure. Our dentists perform root canals to save teeth that are damaged, inflamed, or infected. Inside your tooth is a sensitive material called dental pulp. The material contains all the tooth’s blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissues.
When your tooth becomes damaged, inflamed, or infected, the pulp breaks down and dies. This causes the painful symptoms associated with root canal procedures.
Do I Need a Root Canal?
If left untreated, your condition can worsen as the infection spreads. At this stage, your tooth must be removed to prevent further dental health concerns. Extractions are always a last resort, as it’s always better to maintain the health of your bite. Our dentists will recommend root canals to avoid extractions and help you keep your healthy, beautiful smile.
During your root canal procedure, our dentist will remove the pulp from inside your tooth. Then the interior of the tooth will be thoroughly cleaned. Finally, the tooth is sealed to prevent future infection. Our dentist will complete the procedure by cementing a crown over the tooth. This will fully restore its look, function, and strength.
