What Is a Root Canal?

A root canal is a treatment that helps restore or save a tooth that has become inflamed or infected.

Inside the centre of your tooth, there is a soft tissue called pulp. The pulp contains nerves and blood vessels to help feed the tooth and help fight infections. A damaged tooth or deep tooth decay can lead to infection of the pulp, resulting in the need for a root canal.

During a root canal treatment, your dentist will numb the area before using dental tools to remove the pulp from inside the tooth. Your dentist will then fill and seal the tooth.

Signs You Might Need a Root Canal

Signs or symptoms you may experience if you’re suffering from infected pulp include:

Tooth sensitivity
Pain while chewing
Chipped or cracked tooth
Swollen or tender gums
Tooth discolouration

Get Back to Smiling

After your root canal, we’ll schedule a follow-up appointment to ensure everything is healing correctly. You’ll be back to chewing, biting, and smiling in no time!
