What Is Root Canal Therapy?
Root canal therapy is a procedure that removes infected or inflamed tissue from inside a tooth’s pulp chamber. Once cleaned and disinfected, the space is sealed, and the tooth is restored—typically with a dental crown—to protect it from future damage.
Root canals are used to treat:
- Deep decay that has reached the pulp
- Cracked or broken teeth with pulp exposure
- Abscesses or swelling at the root tip
- Trauma from injury or grinding
- Severe toothache or lingering sensitivity
This treatment is a key part of endodontics, the dental specialty focused on saving natural teeth by treating their internal structures.
Signs You Might Need a Root Canal
- Persistent toothache or throbbing pain
- Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold
- Swollen or tender gums near the tooth
- Discoloration or darkening of the tooth
- A visible abscess or pimple on the gum
- Pain when chewing or biting
If left untreated, infection inside the tooth can spread to surrounding bone or require tooth extraction.
The Root Canal Procedure
Advanced Diagnosis
We use digital X-rays or 3D cone beam imaging to evaluate the pulp, roots, and surrounding bone.
Gentle Anesthesia
Local anesthesia numbs the area completely. Sedation options are available for anxious patients.
Pulp Removal & Disinfection
We remove infected tissue, clean the root canals, and shape the chamber for filling.
Filling & Sealing
The space is filled with a biocompatible material (gutta-percha) and sealed to prevent reinfection.
Tooth Restoration
A temporary or permanent crown is placed to restore strength and function.
In many cases, we complete root canals in just one or two visits. After treatment, your tooth will look and function like normal.

FAQs About Root Canal Therapy
Is a root canal painful?
No. With modern anesthesia, most patients report that root canal therapy feels no more uncomfortable than getting a filling.
How long does a root canal take?
Most treatments take 60–90 minutes. Some cases may require a second visit if the infection is severe or the anatomy is complex.
What happens after a root canal?
You may feel mild soreness for a day or two. We recommend placing a crown shortly after to protect the tooth.
Do I still need a crown after a root canal?
Yes, in most cases. A crown protects the weakened tooth from fracture and restores full function.
Can I avoid a root canal with antibiotics?
No. Antibiotics can reduce swelling temporarily but do not remove infected tissue. A root canal is the only way to fully treat the tooth.
