The Root Canal Procedure

Firstly, it's important to note that your mouth will be numbed before the procedure, ensuring that you won't experience any pain during the treatment. Any discomfort you may feel afterwards is typically very mild. During the procedure, we will create an opening in the tooth to access and remove the damaged pulp along with the infection-causing bacteria. The tooth's interior will be meticulously cleaned before it is filled and sealed to prevent further infection.

Reasons for a Root Canal

Typically, the pulp within your tooth is safeguarded by the enamel. However, there are instances when the pulp can become inflamed or infected, often due to untreated cavities or unaddressed cracks in the tooth. In certain cases, the pulp may have suffered damage from an injury, even if there are no visible signs. Untreated inflammation or infection of the pulp can cause severe pain, and if left untreated, the tooth may ultimately be lost. This is why root canal therapy is frequently required to address the issue.
