Root canal treatment (RCT) is a procedure that removes infected or damaged tissue from inside a tooth. After cleaning and disinfecting the root canals, the tooth is sealed and restored with a filling or crown to protect it from future damage.
Rather than extracting the tooth, root canal treatment allows you to preserve your natural tooth, restore normal function, relieve pain, and maintain a healthy, confident smile.
You may benefit from root canal treatment if you experience any of the following symptoms. Early treatment can help save your natural tooth and prevent further infection.
Continuous or recurring tooth pain that does not go away.
Severe or lingering sensitivity after eating or drinking hot or cold foods.
Discomfort or pain when biting or chewing food.
Inflamed, painful, or tender gums around the affected tooth.
A darkened or discolored tooth may indicate nerve damage.
Gum swelling, pus, or an abscess caused by tooth infection.
A cracked or injured tooth may expose the nerve and require root canal treatment.
Important: If left untreated, the infection can spread and may lead to tooth loss.
We perform a comprehensive dental examination and digital X-rays to accurately diagnose the affected tooth.
Using local anesthesia, the infected pulp is carefully removed. The root canals are cleaned, shaped, disinfected, and sealed to prevent reinfection.
