Root canal treatment

What Is a Root Canal?

A root canal is a dental procedure that treats an infected or damaged tooth to save it from extraction. To save the tooth involves getting rid of the infected pulp inside the tooth, cleaning and disinfecting the interior, and sealing it to prevent further issues.

Do You Need a Root Canal?

Common signs that you may need a root canal include:

  • Persistent tooth pain, especially when chewing or biting.
  • Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers.
  • Swollen or tender gums near the affected tooth. Tooth discoloration or darkening.
