Root Canal Treatment

The aim of root canal therapy is to remove bacteria from the contaminated root canal, avoid reinfection, and save the natural tooth. The inflamed or contaminated pulp is extracted, and the interior of the tooth is meticulously washed and disinfected before being filled and sealed.

Saving the natural tooth with root canal treatment has many advantages:

• Efficient chewing
• Normal biting force and sensation
• Natural appearance
• Protects other teeth from excessive wear or strain

There are a few symptoms that mean you might need a root canal—

• Severe pain while chewing or biting
• Pimples on the gums
• A chipped or cracked tooth
• Lingering sensitivity to hot or cold, even after the sensation has been removed
• Swollen or tender gums
• Deep decay or darkening of the gums
