Root Canal Treatment

A root canal is a treatment for infection or damage inside the tooth’s pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels. The procedure involves removing the infected pulp, cleaning the tooth’s inner canals, and sealing it to prevent further infection. Afterward, the tooth is typically restored with a crown for protection and function.

Signs You May Need a Root Canal :

• Severe tooth pain, especially when chewing or applying pressure
• Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers
• Swelling or tenderness in the gums near the tooth
• A darkened or discolored tooth
• Persistent pimple-like bumps on the gums (abscess)

If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s important to see a dentist to determine if a root canal is necessary.
