What is a Root Canal?
Inside each tooth is a soft tissue layer called the pulp, which houses nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. When this pulp becomes infected or inflamed—due to deep decay, cracks, trauma, or failed restorations—a root canal is necessary to remove the damaged tissue, clean and disinfect the canal, then seal and restore the tooth.
🩺 Signs You Might Need Treatment
- Persistent or intense tooth pain, worsened by pressure.
- Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers.
- Swelling near the affected tooth or a gum bump.
- Discoloration or darkening of the tooth.
- Chronic bad breath or discharge near the root.
Our Treatment Process
-
Consultation & Diagnosis We start with a detailed exam, digital X-rays, and cold/hot tests to confirm the need for a root canal.
-
Anesthesia & Tooth Isolation Local anesthesia ensures a pain-free experience. We use a rubber dam to keep the tooth dry and clean.
-
Cleaning & Disinfection We access the pulp chamber, remove infected tissue using fine instruments, irrigate thoroughly, and shape the canals.
-
Filling & Sealing Canals are filled with gutta‑percha and a biocompatible sealer to prevent reinfection.
-
Restoration Most cases need a crown to protect the tooth from fracture, restoring function and appearance.
