About the Service

It's actually one of the most effective ways of relieving some kinds of tooth pain. A root canal procedure becomes necessary when infection or inflammation develops in the pulp tissue of the tooth. ‍

While a root canal might sound intimidating, modern dentistry has made it a comfortable and tooth-saving procedure. Here's what you can expect: Diagnosis and Anesthesia: Your dentist will use X-rays and exams to confirm that a root canal is necessary. Then, they'll numb the tooth and surrounding area with a local anesthetic, ensuring you won't feel pain. Isolating the Tooth: A small rubber sheet called a dental dam is placed around the tooth. This keeps it clean and dry during the procedure. Accessing the Pulp: A tiny opening is made in the top of your tooth to reach the infected pulp chamber where the nerve and blood vessels reside. Cleaning and Shaping: Using specialized instruments, the dentist removes the infected pulp and carefully cleans and shapes the inside of the root canals. Filling and Sealing: The canals are filled with a rubber-like material called gutta-percha to prevent re-infection. A temporary filling seals the opening of the tooth. Restoration: After the root canal has healed, you'll return to your dentist to have the temporary filling replaced with a permanent one or a crown to restore the tooth's form and function.

A root canal is a dental procedure that saves a tooth deeply infected or damaged at its core. Inside your tooth, beneath the hard enamel and dentin, lies soft tissue called pulp. This pulp contains nerves, blood vessels, and helps the tooth grow. When decay or injury reaches this pulp, it can become inflamed and infected.

Why You Might Need a Root Canal

Do you have a persistent toothache, swelling, or extreme sensitivity to hot or cold? These could be signs of a deep infection in your tooth. A root canal can remove that infection, save your tooth, and relieve the pain.

• Severe toothache: Especially lingering pain triggered by hot or cold, or while chewing.
• Deep Decay: A cavity that has reached the pulp chamber.
• Injury or Trauma: A cracked or chipped tooth exposing the inner pulp.
• Large, Repeated Fillings:
