Root canal treatment is a highly effective procedure designed to remove infection, relieve pain, and preserve a damaged or decayed tooth. The treatment involves cleaning out the infected pulp inside the tooth, sealing it, and restoring its function and appearance. Contrary to common misconceptions, modern root canal treatment is virtually painless and helps avoid the need for tooth extraction.
Root canal treatment is recommended for individuals who experience:
Severe tooth pain that worsens with chewing or pressure.
Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers even after removal of the stimulus.
Swollen or tender gums near the affected tooth.
Darkened or discolored tooth due to infection or trauma.
Persistent or recurring pimples on the gums.
Deep decay or large fillings that have affected the nerve of the tooth.
