What is a Root Canal?
A root canal, or endodontic therapy, is a dental procedure required when the pulp of the tooth, which contains nerves and blood vessels, becomes infected or damaged. This can happen due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures on the tooth, or a crack or chip in the tooth.
The procedure involves removing the infected or inflamed pulp, cleaning and disinfecting the inside of the tooth, then filling and sealing it to prevent further infection. Root canals preserve the tooth to prevent the need for extraction, maintaining your natural smile and preventing other teeth from shifting out of place.
Do I Need a Root Canal?
If you experience severe toothache, sensitivity to hot or cold that persists, tooth discoloration, swelling, or a recurring pimple on the gums, you might need a root canal.
These symptoms signify that there could be deep decay or infection in the pulp of the tooth.
Preserving Your Natural Teeth
Whenever possible, saving your natural tooth through a root canal is preferable to extraction.
Keeping your natural tooth helps maintain your jaw structure, prevents other teeth from shifting, and saves you from needing more complex dental procedures like implants or bridges.
