What Is Root Canal Treatment?
A root canal is a restorative dental procedure used to treat an infected or severely decayed tooth. Inside each tooth is soft tissue called the pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels. When the pulp becomes inflamed or infected, it can cause pain, swelling, and sensitivity. A root canal removes the damaged tissue, cleans the inside of the tooth, and seals it to prevent further infection—while preserving your natural tooth.

Benefits of Root Canal Treatment
03
Prevent Further Damage
Cleaning and sealing the tooth helps stop infection from spreading to surrounding teeth or gums.
01
Pain Relief
Root canals eliminate the infection and provide relief from persistent tooth pain.
02
Save Your Natural Tooth
Instead of removing the tooth, a root canal preserves your natural smile and bite.
04
Restore Function
Once treated and restored with a crown, your tooth can function just like any other.
What to Expect
During your root canal appointment, our experienced team will carefully numb the area to keep you comfortable. We’ll then create a small opening in the tooth to remove the infected pulp and thoroughly clean the canals. The tooth is sealed to prevent reinfection, and in most cases, a crown is placed to restore its full strength and function. The entire process is gentle, efficient, and designed to relieve pain while saving your natural tooth.
