What Is Root Canal Therapy?
- Removes infected or damaged tooth pulp
- Cleans and disinfects the root canals
- Seals the tooth to prevent reinfection
- Relieves pain rather than causing it
Root canal therapy is a dental procedure used to treat infection inside a tooth. By removing the infected pulp and sealing the canals, the tooth can be saved and restored to full function. Despite common myths, a root canal is a pain-relieving procedure.
Why Root Canal Therapy Is Needed
- Prevents infection from spreading
- Eliminates severe tooth pain
- Avoids tooth extraction
- Maintains jawbone and bite alignment
Ignoring an infected tooth can lead to serious complications, including abscesses, bone loss, and tooth loss. Root canal therapy allows us to treat the infection early while preserving your natural tooth.

- Sensitivity to hot or cold
- Tooth discoloration
- Swollen or tender gums

If you experience any of these symptoms, prompt treatment is essential. Early intervention often leads to faster recovery and better outcomes.
