A root canal is a procedure that treats the inside of a tooth when its pulp (the soft tissue containing nerves and blood vessels) becomes infected or inflamed. This infection can result from deep decay, repeated dental procedures on the same tooth, or an injury. If left untreated, it can lead to severe pain, swelling, or even tooth loss.

Benefits of a Root Canal

• Pain Relief: Eliminates the infection and the associated discomfort.
• Preserves Your Natural Tooth: Helps you avoid extraction and maintain your natural smile.
• Efficient and Effective: Modern techniques make root canals a quick, minimally invasive solution.

Do Root Canals Hurt?

With today’s advanced techniques and anesthesia, root canals are no more uncomfortable than a routine filling. Most patients are pleasantly surprised at how simple and painless the procedure is.
