Root Canal Treatment Explained
Root canal procedure is done to save a tooth from being damaged or infected and lessen its extraction from the mouth by the dentist. The dentist will thoroughly remove the infected pulp inside, clean and disinfect the root canals and finally seal the tooth for strength and functioning.

Should a Tooth Undergo Root Canal Therapy?
A root canal treatment may be needed upon:
Severe Toothaches, with or without throbbing.
Lingering sensitivity to heat or cold.
Swollen or tender gums surrounding a tooth.
Color changes, or blackening of a tooth.
Appearance of recurrent pimple-like bumps on the gums.
If not treated promptly, the infection may spread leading to further complications in your oral health and the eventual loss of that tooth.

Benefits of Root Canal Therapy
Preserve Natural Tooth – Prevents its extraction.
Terminate Pain & Infection – Stops discomfort and curtail bacterial expansion.
Restore Functionality – Enables normal chewing, talking, and smiling.
Enduring – With crown placement, the tooth treated can last for the patient’s lifetime.
