Root Canal Treatment

When might I need a root canal treatment?

If the soft tissue inside a tooth becomes inflamed or infected, a root canal treatment may be recommended. Common signs for a root canal treatment include ongoing tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold foods, swelling around the gums, or discomfort when biting.

The best way to know what is causing your symptoms is to arrange a dental examination. Early assessment often makes treatment more straightforward.

What happens during treatment?

Root canal treatment focuses on removing the damaged tissue from inside the tooth before cleaning it and sealing it. The goal is to preserve the tooth whenever possible and restore its function.

Before treatment, we will assess your oral health and explain each step so that you know what to expect. If the tooth cannot be saved, other options such as dental implants and dentures may be discussed. Ongoing general dentistry appointments also play an important role in helping to prevent future dental problems.

How can I protect my teeth in the future?

Good oral hygiene and routine dental check-ups are important to maintaining healthy teeth. Professional cleaning, early treatment of cavities, and prompt care when you notice pain can all reduce the risk of more complex dental problems.

If you have a painful or sensitive tooth, do not wait for it to worsen.
