Understanding Root Canals

A root canal is a dental procedure used to treat infection at the center of a tooth. It involves removing the infected pulp and sealing the tooth to prevent further issues.

When is a Root Canal Needed?

Root canals are necessary when the pulp becomes infected due to deep decay or injury. Symptoms may include severe toothache, sensitivity to temperature, and swelling.

Root canals can save your natural teeth.

What to Expect

During the procedure, the dentist will numb the area and remove the infected tissue. After cleaning, the tooth is sealed to protect it from future infections.
