Service Overview

A root canal is a common dental procedure designed to save a tooth that is severely damaged or infected. It involves removing the infected or inflamed pulp from inside the tooth, cleaning and disinfecting the root canals, and then sealing them to prevent further infection. This procedure is typically recommended when the tooth’s nerve is compromised due to deep decay, a crack, or trauma.

Modern root canals are relatively painless, thanks to advanced techniques and anesthesia, and they help relieve pain while preserving the natural tooth. After the procedure, a dental crown is often placed to restore the tooth’s strength and functionality. Root canals not only eliminate discomfort but also prevent the need for tooth extraction, helping maintain a healthy and complete smile.

Why A Root Canal Is Important

A root canal is important because it saves a severely damaged or infected tooth, preventing the need for extraction. When the inner pulp of a tooth becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, cracks, or trauma, it can cause intense pain, swelling, and even lead to abscesses if left untreated. By removing the infected tissue, cleaning the canals, and sealing the tooth, a root canal eliminates pain, stops the spread of infection, and restores the tooth’s functionality. Preserving the natural tooth is crucial for maintaining proper bite alignment, chewing ability, and overall oral health. A root canal not only alleviates discomfort but also protects your smile and helps avoid more complex dental procedures in the future.
