Endodontic Treatment

Endodontic treatment is important for saving severely damaged or infected teeth, keeping them healthy for many more years.

What is a Root Canal?

A root canal is a natural space inside a tooth, including the pulp chamber, main canal, and smaller branches connecting them. During a root canal procedure, the dentist removes the infected nerve from the tooth's crown, cleans the root canals, and fills them with a special material to seal them.

Is Root Canal Treatment Painful?

Root canal procedures aren’t as painful as they sound! Numbing medicine helps reduce pain, and any discomfort afterward can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.

When Do You Need Root Canal Treatment?

Root canal treatment is recommended for abscesses, dying teeth, severe fractures, deep cavities, and tooth sensitivity or pain. It saves the tooth from being removed.

Root canal treatment usually takes 1 or 2 appointments. Some tenderness afterward is normal, but severe pain or swelling is rare. Regular dental check-ups are important to keep the tooth healthy.

For complex cases, you may be referred to an endodontist specializing in root canal therapy.
