What is a Root Canal?
A root canal is a treatment to repair and save a badly damaged or infected tooth instead of removing it. The procedure involves removing the damaged area of the tooth (the pulp) and cleaning and disinfecting it, then filling and sealing it.
Symptoms You Might Need One
- Severe toothache upon chewing or application of pressure
- Prolonged sensitivity to heat or cold
- Discoloration (darkening) of the tooth
- Swelling and tenderness in nearby gums
The Treatment Process
- X-ray & Anesthesia: We start with an X-ray to see the shape of the root canals and determine if there are any signs of infection. Local anesthesia is applied to numb the area.
- Pulpectomy: An access hole is drilled into the tooth. The pulp, bacteria, and decayed nerve tissue are removed from the tooth.
- Filling: Once cleaned, the tooth is sealed.
- Restoration: A crown is usually placed on the tooth to protect it and restore it to full function.
