What is a Root Canal?

A root canal is a dental procedure to remove infected or damaged tissue from inside a tooth. The procedure involves removing the infected pulp, nerves, and blood vessels from the tooth, cleaning and disinfecting the inside of the tooth, and then filling and sealing the tooth to prevent further infection.

Why is a Root Canal Necessary?

A root canal is necessary when the pulp of the tooth becomes infected or damaged, causing pain, swelling, and potentially leading to tooth loss. Common causes of pulp damage include:

• Deep tooth decay
• Cracked or broken teeth
• Trauma to the tooth
• Gum disease

What to Expect During a Root Canal

• A local anesthetic to numb the tooth and surrounding area
• Removal of the infected pulp and nerves
• Cleaning and disinfecting the inside of the tooth
• Filling and sealing the tooth with a rubber-like material
• Placing a crown or filling to protect the tooth
