What is a Root Canal Treatment?

Root canal is a treatment to repair and save a badly damaged or infected tooth instead of removing it. The term “root canal” comes from the cleaning of the canals inside a tooth’s root.

Teeth have a soft core called dental pulp which has the tooth nerves and blood vessels. When a tooth is cracked or has a deep cavity, bacteria can enter the pulp. If left untreated, bacteria and decaying material can cause a serious infection or a pus discharge, bone loss, and loss of the tooth itself. 

Root canal treatment is very effective in avoiding unnecessary extractions and can therefore preserve your natural teeth for as long as possible. It can even last for a lifetime if good dental hygiene is observed on regular basis.

Signs and symptoms may include swelling around your face and neck, a hole in your tooth, toothache, gum swelling, and temperature sensitivity.

A root canal treatment helps you save the natural tooth, it can take 1-3 appointments, depending upon the case.
