A root canal is a safe, effective procedure used to save a damaged or infected tooth. With today's technology, it's usually no more uncomfortable than getting a regular filling.

When decay reaches the inner pulp of the tooth, a root canal removes the infection and saves the tooth from extraction.
Cracks in the tooth can allow bacteria to reach the pulp, leading to inflammation and infection that requires treatment.
Previous injuries or repeated dental procedures on the same tooth can damage the pulp and lead to the need for root canal therapy.
Left untreated, infection can cause severe pain, swelling, and eventual tooth loss. A root canal stops the problem early.
A dental examination and digital X-ray will confirm whether a root canal is needed. If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, don't wait — early treatment leads to the best outcomes.

With modern techniques and local anesthesia, a root canal is typically no more uncomfortable than getting a filling. Most patients are surprised by how smooth and pain-free the experience is. Any mild soreness afterward usually resolves within a day or two.
Most root canal treatments are completed in 1–2 visits depending on the complexity of the case. Most patients feel relief almost immediately after the first visit, as the infection is removed during that appointment.
After a root canal, a custom crown is often placed over the treated tooth to restore its full strength and appearance. With proper care, the results are long-lasting and your natural tooth is preserved.
