What Is a Root Canal?
When infection or inflammation reaches the soft tissue (pulp) inside your tooth, root canal treatment removes the infected tissue, cleans and seals the canals, and saves the tooth from extraction.
Signs You May Need Root Canal Treatment
Severe toothache, especially when chewing. Lingering sensitivity to hot or cold. Darkening of the tooth. Swelling or tenderness in the surrounding gums. A recurring pimple or bump on the gum.
The Procedure
01
Assessment
X-rays to determine the extent of infection. Local anaesthetic to numb the area.
02
Cleaning
The infected pulp is removed and the canals are cleaned and disinfected.
03
Sealing
The canals are filled with a biocompatible material and sealed.
04
Restoration
A crown is usually placed to protect and strengthen the treated tooth.
Most root canals are completed in one to two visits. The procedure is no more uncomfortable than a deep filling.
