A root canal may be needed when the inside of a tooth becomes infected due to deep decay, cracks, or injury. Treating the tooth can help relieve pain, stop infection, and preserve your natural tooth.
Many patients are surprised to learn that root canal treatment is generally comfortable. Your dentist will use local anesthesia to keep you relaxed during the procedure. Some mild sensitivity may occur afterward but usually improves as the tooth heals.
During treatment, your dentist removes the infected tissue inside the tooth, carefully cleans and disinfects the area, and seals the tooth to protect it. A crown or other restoration may be recommended afterward to strengthen the tooth.
The time required depends on the condition of the tooth and the complexity of the case. Some root canal treatments can be completed in one visit, while others may require additional appointments for proper care and restoration.
Common signs that you may need a root canal include severe tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling around the gums, or discomfort when chewing. However, only a dental examination can confirm whether root canal treatment is needed.
Yes, the main goal of root canal treatment is to preserve your natural tooth. By removing infection and restoring the tooth, the procedure can help you continue using your tooth instead of removing it.
