What Is a Root Canal Treatment?
A root canal (endodontic) treatment is a common, effective procedure to remove infection or inflammation from inside a tooth. This treatment is needed when bacteria have reached the pulp—the soft tissue containing nerves and blood vessels—due to deep decay, trauma, or a cracked tooth.
When Is Root Canal Treatment Needed?
- Persistent toothache or throbbing pain
- Sensitivity to hot or cold
- Swelling or tenderness in the gums
- Darkening of the tooth
- An abscess or pimple on the gum
Early treatment can prevent tooth loss and further complications.
The Root Canal Procedure – Step by Step
Diagnosis & Local Anesthesia
We use digital X-rays to assess the tooth. Local anesthesia ensures the procedure is comfortable and virtually pain-free.
Access & Cleaning
A small opening is made in the tooth to access the pulp chamber and root canals. The infected or dead tissue is removed, and the canals are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected.
Filling the Canals
The cleaned canals are filled with a safe, biocompatible material called gutta-percha to seal and protect the tooth.
Restoration
A filling or crown is placed over the tooth to restore its strength, function, and appearance.
Aftercare & Recovery
Most patients return to normal activities the same day. Some mild tenderness is normal and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief. Maintain good oral hygiene and attend follow-up visits as recommended.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is root canal treatment painful?
No. With modern anesthesia and gentle techniques, most patients experience little to no pain during the procedure.
How long does a root canal take?
Most treatments are completed in one or two visits, depending on the tooth and severity of infection.
Will I need a crown after a root canal?
In many cases, especially for back teeth, a crown is recommended to protect the tooth long-term.
What are the alternatives?
The main alternative is tooth extraction, but saving your natural tooth is usually best for your oral health.
