Root Canal Treatment

What is Root Canal Treatment?

Root canal treatment (RCT) is a procedure that removes infected or inflamed pulp (the soft tissue inside your tooth containing nerves and blood vessels), cleans and disinfects the inner chamber, and seals it to prevent further infection. The tooth is typically restored with a filling or crown afterward.

Signs You May Need a Root Canal

• Severe or persistent tooth pain, especially when chewing
• Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers
• Swelling or tenderness in the gums near a tooth
• A darkened or discolored tooth
• A recurring pimple-like bump on the gums
• Deep decay or a cracked tooth reaching the pulp

The Root Canal Process

1. Diagnosis & X-ray – We assess the extent of infection and confirm the tooth can be saved.
2. Anesthesia – Local anesthesia ensures a comfortable, pain-free procedure.
3. Cleaning the Canal – The infected pulp is removed, and the canal is thoroughly cleaned and shaped.
4. Sealing – The canal is filled and sealed to prevent reinfection.
5. Restoration – A filling or crown is placed to restore the tooth’s strength and function.

Common Myths About Root Canals

Root canal treatment has a reputation for being painful — but with modern anesthesia and techniques, most patients report the procedure feels no different from getting a routine filling. In fact, it relieves the pain caused by the infection, rather than causing it.
