What Is a Root Canal?
A root canal is a treatment that helps restore or save a tooth that has become inflamed or infected.
A damaged tooth or deep tooth decay can lead to infection of the pulp inside the tooth, which can result in the need for a root canal.
During a typical root canal treatment, the dentist will anesthetize (numb) the area before removing the pulp from inside the tooth. The dentist will then fill and seal the tooth and may place a crown to further protect the tooth.s to protect your smile and maintain your oral health for years to come.
Why You Might Require a Root Canal
If your dentist detects signs of infection or inflammation of the pulp inside a tooth during an exam, they may recommend a root canal as a way to fix the pain caused by the infection while preserving your tooth.
Common signs and symptoms of an infected tooth can include:
- Persistent tooth pain
- Sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures
- Tooth discolouration
- Inflamed gums
- A chipped or cracked tooth
- A loosened tooth
While in some cases, a tooth extraction might be warranted, we typically recommend taking action to save the tooth if at all possible. Removing a tooth can lead to the need for additional, more complex dental procedures.y appointment only.
