Root Canal Therapy

A root canal saves a tooth that is infected or severely damaged. It removes the inflamed tissue inside the tooth, cleans the canals, and seals them to prevent future infection. The result is pain relief and a tooth you can keep.

Signs you may need a root canal

• Persistent toothache or pressure pain
• Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers
• Swelling or a pimple on the gums
• Darkening of the tooth

What to expect

The area is numbed, and we carefully remove the infected tissue. The canals are cleaned, shaped, and sealed. A crown is often recommended to protect the tooth afterward.

• Comfortable, precise treatment
• Relief from infection and pain
• Preserves your natural tooth

Aftercare

You may feel mild soreness for a few days. Most patients return to normal activities immediately.

FAQs

Is a root canal painful? Modern root canals feel similar to getting a filling. The goal is to stop pain, not cause it.

Do I need a crown? Often yes, especially for back teeth, to protect against fracture.
