Root Canal Therapy
Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy is used to treat infection or inflammation inside a tooth while helping preserve the natural tooth structure.
Why a root canal may be recommended
- Deep decay, cracks, trauma, or repeated dental work can irritate the nerve inside a tooth.
- Treatment removes infected or inflamed tissue, cleans the canal space, and seals the tooth.
- A crown is often recommended afterward to protect the tooth from fracture.
Symptoms to watch
- Lingering hot or cold sensitivity.
- Pain when biting or chewing.
- Swelling, a pimple on the gum, or pain that wakes you up.
