WHAT IS ROOT CANAL TREATMENT?
Root canal treatment is a dental procedure used to remove infected or inflamed tissue from inside a tooth. Once the infection is removed, the tooth is cleaned, sealed, and restored to protect it from further damage.
This treatment helps relieve pain, stop infection, and save the natural tooth, avoiding the need for extraction in many cases.
SIGNS YOU MAY NEED A ROOT CANAL
You may require root canal treatment if you experience:
Persistent tooth pain
Sensitivity to hot or cold
Swelling or tenderness in the gums
Pain when biting or chewing
Darkening of a tooth
An abscess or infection visible on X-rays
An examination and digital imaging are necessary for an accurate diagnosis.
