Endodontics or Root Canal Therapy

Root Canal Therapy

Root canal therapy is a dental procedure used to treat infection or inflammation in the pulp and root canal system inside your tooth. This treatment can save a damaged tooth and restore its function.

What Causes Pulp or Root Canal Infection?

The pulp and surrounding root canals can become infected or inflamed due to:

Tooth decay (caries)
Deep cavities
Gum disease
Cracked or fractured teeth
Extreme tooth wear
Trauma or injury
Deterioration of an old filling or crown
Repeated dental procedures on the same tooth

Symptoms That May Indicate You Need Root Canal Treatment:

Pain when chewing or biting
Sensitivity to hot or cold foods
Swelling or tenderness in the surrounding gums
Persistent or spontaneous toothache

How Root Canal Therapy Works:

Removal of Infected Tissue: The inflamed or infected pulp is carefully removed from the root canal system.
Disinfection: The canals are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected to eliminate bacteria.
Filling the Canals: The cleaned canal space is sealed with a special material to prevent reinfection.
Tooth Restoration: To ensure long-term function and protection, the tooth is restored—often with a cuspal-protected restoration, such as a crown.
