Root Canal Treatment – Saving Your Natural Tooth

Root canals are often seen as one of the most feared dental procedures – but the reality is quite different. Thanks to modern dentistry, today’s root canal treatments are safe, effective, and virtually painless. In fact, they are designed to relieve pain, not cause it.

A root canal is needed when the soft tissue inside your tooth – called the pulp – becomes infected or inflamed. This is usually caused by deep decay, repeated dental procedures on the same tooth, or an injury.

Why it’s important:

If left untreated, the infection can spread and form an abscess, leading to severe pain, swelling, bone damage, and even tooth loss. A root canal removes the infected pulp, cleans and disinfects the inner tooth, and seals it with a filling. In most cases, the tooth is then restored with a crown to bring back full function and strength.

Benefits of Root Canal Treatment:

• Stops severe tooth pain and sensitivity
• Prevents spread of infection
• Preserves your natural tooth structure
• Restores chewing ability and appearance
