What Is a Root Canal?

A root canal is a procedure used to treat infection or inflammation inside a tooth. During treatment, we remove the affected pulp tissue, clean and disinfect the inner chamber, and seal the tooth to prevent further damage. I

n most cases, a dental crown is placed afterward to restore strength and function.

Common Signs You May Need a Root Canal

Persistent toothache or pressure
Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers
Swelling or tenderness in the gums
Darkening or discoloration of the tooth
A small bump on the gums near the tooth (abscess)

If you notice any of these symptoms, don’t delay — early treatment can prevent complications.

Root Canal Treatment Process

Diagnosis: We take digital X-rays and evaluate your symptoms.
Treatment: The infected tissue is removed, and the root canal system is cleaned and sealed.
