Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment can save a tooth affected by deep decay or infection, relieving pain and helping you avoid extraction.
What Is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment removes infected or inflamed tissue from inside the tooth, cleans and seals the space, helping preserve the natural tooth.
Who May Need This Treatment
Patients experiencing tooth pain, sensitivity, or swelling linked to deep decay or infection may need a root canal after an examination.
Common Signs & Reasons for Treatment
Signs that may indicate the need for root canal treatment include persistent tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling, or a darkening tooth.
Treatment Process
The dentist numbs the area, removes the affected tissue from inside the tooth, cleans and shapes the canal, then seals it — often followed by a crown to protect the tooth.
Expected Duration
Root canal treatment is typically completed in one to two visits, depending on the tooth and extent of infection.
Aftercare
Mild sensitivity after treatment is normal for a few days. Avoiding chewing on the treated tooth until a permanent restoration is placed is recommended.
Benefits
Relieves pain from infection and helps preserve your natural tooth rather than requiring extraction.
Important Considerations
In some cases, a tooth may not be treatable with root canal therapy alone; your dentist will explain your options if this applies.
