What Is Root Canal Therapy?

Root canal therapy is a restorative dental procedure used to treat infection or damage inside a tooth. During treatment, the infected dental pulp is carefully removed, the inside of the tooth is cleaned and disinfected, and the tooth is sealed to prevent future infection.

The goal of root canal therapy is to save the natural tooth whenever possible and avoid the need for extraction.

When Is a Root Canal Needed?

Several conditions can lead to the need for root canal therapy, including:

• Deep tooth decay
• Cracked or fractured teeth
• Untreated dental infections
• Traumatic tooth injuries
• Damage to the tooth nerve

When bacteria reach the inner pulp of the tooth, infection can develop and spread if left untreated.

Common Symptoms That May Indicate a Root Canal Is Needed

Patients may experience one or more of the following symptoms:

• Persistent tooth pain
• Pain while chewing or biting
• Sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures
• Swollen or tender gums
• Tooth discoloration
• A pimple-like bump on the gums

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, an evaluation can help determine whether root canal therapy is necessary.

Benefits of Root Canal Therapy

Relieve Pain and Infection

Removing infected tissue can eliminate discomfort and help restore oral health.

Maintain Normal Function

Saving your natural tooth helps preserve normal chewing ability, speech, and bite function.

Avoid Additional Dental Complications

Keeping your natural tooth can help prevent shifting teeth, bone loss, and the need for more extensive restorative procedures such as dental implants or dental crowns and bridges.
