Root Canal Treatment
A root canal is a procedure to treat infection at the center of a tooth. If you have a severely damaged or infected tooth, this treatment can save the tooth and relieve pain by cleaning and sealing the infection.

Structure of a Tooth
A tooth has two main parts: the crown (the visible portion above the gum line) and the roots (anchored in the jawbone). Inside the tooth, the pulp contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. If this pulp becomes infected due to decay, injury, or other causes, it can lead to serious dental issues and pain.
What Causes the Need for a Root Canal?
The most common cause for needing a root canal is tooth decay. When decay spreads from the outer layers of the tooth to the pulp, it can cause infection and inflammation. Other causes include tooth trauma, gum disease, or a cracked tooth, all of which can expose the pulp to harmful bacteria. If left untreated, this infection can cause severe pain and lead to tooth extraction.
What Is the Root Canal Procedure?
Our root canal procedure is designed to be effective and comfortable.
Anesthesia
We begin by numbing the area to ensure you are comfortable.
Access
A small opening is made in the crown to access the infected pulp.
Cleaning
The infected pulp is carefully removed, and the canals are cleaned and disinfected.
Shaping
The inside of the tooth is shaped to hold the filling.
Filling
The canals are filled with a biocompatible material, sealing the tooth and preventing further infection.
Sealing
The tooth is sealed, and a crown may be placed for added strength and protection.
Symptoms of Pulp Infection
If you experience any of the following symptoms, you may need a root canal:
Persistent tooth pain (sharp or dull)
Pain while chewing or applying pressure
Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold
Darkened or discolored tooth
Swollen or painful gums near the affected tooth
A recurring pimple-like bump on the gums (indicating an abscess)
