Root canal therapy alleviates pain, stops infections, and saves teeth, restoring function and preserving your natural smile.
Root canal procedures often have a bad reputation because they're usually associated with being in pain. However, the reality is quite the opposite: root canals are designed to relieve the pain caused by severe tooth decay or infection, helping to restore comfort and save your natural tooth.
When the soft tissue inside your tooth, known as the pulp, becomes infected or inflamed due to decay, cracks, or deep cavities, it can really hurt. If not treated, this infection can worsen, leading to pain, abscesses and more serious health problems.
By meticulously removing the inflamed and infected pulp, root canal therapy alleviates discomfort caused by severe tooth decay and prevents the need for tooth extraction. A root canal therapy eases your pain, stops the infection, and restores your tooth’s function, letting you chew and bite comfortably again. This essential treatment helps you maintain your natural smile and prolongs the life of your natural teeth.
The procedure might take one or more visits to the dentist, depending on the complexity of the root canal and the need for additional dental work. In some cases, you might be referred to an endodontist, a specialist in treating tooth pulp issues, to ensure the best care, comfort and outcome.
