Root Canal Treatment
Removes infected or inflamed pulp, cleans and seals the canal to preserve the natural tooth, relieve pain, and prevent infection from spreading.
What this treatment helps with:
- Relieves pain caused by pulp inflammation or dental abscess
- Preserves the natural tooth instead of requiring extraction
- Prevents infection from spreading to the jawbone or nearby teeth
- Establishes a solid foundation for a crown afterward
(X-ray imaging to assess the extent of infection) (Treatment performed under anesthesia to minimize discomfort) (Canal sealing and protective restoration after treatment)
When Is Root Canal Treatment Needed?
Persistent pain, ongoing sensitivity to hot or cold, darkened tooth color, or swollen gums near the root are common signs of pulp inflammation or infection.
Treatment Process
- X-ray imaging to assess pulp damage
- Anesthesia and cleaning of the infected canal
- Shaping and sealing of the root canal
- Protective restoration (typically a crown) after completion
