Root Canal Treatment – Save Your Natural Tooth
What Is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is a procedure used to treat infection or damage within the inner part of the tooth (pulp). The pulp contains nerves and blood vessels that can become infected due to decay, injury, or repeated dental procedures.
If left untreated, this infection can lead to severe pain, abscess formation, and even tooth loss.
- The infected pulp is carefully removed
- The root canals are cleaned and disinfected
- The space is filled with a biocompatible material
- The tooth is restored with a filling or crown
Signs You May Need a Root Canal
You may require root canal treatment if you experience:
- Persistent Tooth Pain: Ongoing pain, especially while chewing or applying pressure
- Sensitivity to Hot & Cold: Lingering sensitivity even after the stimulus is removed
- Swollen or Tender Gums: Signs of infection or abscess near the affected tooth
- Tooth Discoloration: Darkening of the tooth due to internal damage
- Injury or Trauma: Cracked or fractured teeth exposing the pulp
If you notice any of these symptoms, early treatment can help save your tooth.
