What Is a Root Canal?

A root canal is one of the most common dental procedures performed to save infected teeth. This endodontic treatment removes infected tissue from inside your tooth pulp chamber and root canal system, eliminating persistent tooth pain while preserving your natural tooth.

When deep tooth decay, broken teeth, or trauma damage the nerve and blood vessels inside your tooth, bacteria can cause infection. Our root canal specialists use cutting edge technology and advanced training to provide comfortable, effective endodontic care that eliminates infection and restores your oral health.

Do You Need a Root Canal? Warning Signs

Don’t ignore these symptoms that indicate you need a root canal:

  • Throbbing pain that worsens with pressure

  • Sensitivity to hot/cold that lingers

  • Swelling or tenderness in gums

  • Darkening of the affected tooth

  • Persistent tooth pain that disrupts sleep

  • Pimple-like bump on gums (abscess)


Delaying treatment allows infection to spread from the damaged tooth to surrounding teeth and even your jaw bone.
What starts as manageable tooth pain can escalate to serious dental issues requiring tooth extraction and more complex dental procedures. Early intervention through root canal therapy saves your tooth and prevents costly complications.

We understand that dental anxiety is common, which is why we’re here to guide you through every step. If you’re scheduled for a root canal, here’s what you can typically expect throughout the process.

Diagnosis and Preparation

Before starting the procedure, your dentist will numb the affected area to ensure your comfort. They will then place a rubber dam around the tooth to keep it dry and free from saliva during the treatment.

Accessing the Pulp

To reach the infected pulp, your dentist will create a small access hole in the tooth’s crown. This allows them to remove the damaged pulp tissue and clean out the root canals.

Cleaning and Shaping

Using specialized instruments, the dentist will carefully clean and shape the inside of the root canals to remove any remaining bacteria and debris. They may also irrigate the canals with antibacterial solutions to ensure thorough disinfection.

Filling the Canals

Once the canals are clean and dry, they are filled with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha. This material seals the canals to prevent re-infection and provides structural support to the tooth.

Restoration

After the root canal is completed, the tooth is usually restored with a filling or a crown to protect it and restore its function and appearance. In some cases, a temporary filling may be placed until a permanent restoration can be made.
