What are Root Canals?
A root canal is a dental procedure aimed at saving a tooth that has been severely damaged or infected. Inside each tooth, there is a soft tissue called a dental pulp, which contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. When the pulp becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures, or trauma, a root canal treatment becomes necessary.
During a root canal procedure, the infected or damaged pulp is removed, and the inside of the tooth is cleaned and disinfected. The root canal is then filled and sealed to prevent further infection. This allows the tooth to be saved and restored to its full function.

Benefits of Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment offers several benefits, including:
- Relieving Pain and Discomfort: Root canal therapy helps alleviate the pain and discomfort associated with infected or damaged teeth.
- Saving Natural Teeth: Root canal treatment preserves the natural tooth structure, preventing the need for extraction and maintaining the integrity of your smile.
- Preventing Further Dental Issues: Removing infected pulp and sealing the tooth prevents the spread of infection to surrounding teeth and tissues.
- Restoring Dental Function and Aesthetics: After root canal treatment, a crown can restore the tooth’s strength, function, and appearance.
What Causes a Root Canal?
Several factors can lead to the need for root canal treatment, including:
- Tooth Decay: Deep cavities or untreated decay can penetrate the tooth’s surface and reach the dental pulp, leading to infection and inflammation.
- Trauma or Injury to the Tooth: Accidents or injuries to the tooth can damage the pulp, necessitating root canal therapy.
- Infection or Abscess: Bacterial infection of the dental pulp can cause an abscess to form at the root of the tooth, requiring prompt treatment to prevent further complications.
Steps to Treat Root Canals with Therapy
The root canal treatment process typically involves the following steps:
- Initial Consultation and Examination: Our dental team will conduct a thorough examination, including X-rays, to assess the extent of damage and determine if root canal therapy is necessary.
- Cleaning and Shaping the Root Canals: The infected pulp is carefully removed from the tooth’s interior, and the root canals are cleaned, shaped, and disinfected to remove bacteria and debris.
- Filling and Sealing the Canals: Once the root canals are cleaned, they are filled with a biocompatible material to prevent reinfection. The tooth is then sealed to prevent bacteria from entering.
- Restoring the Tooth with a Crown: A dental crown is placed over the tooth to protect and strengthen it, restoring its function and aesthetics.
