What is a Root Canal?
A root canal is a dental procedure designed to treat infection or damage deep inside the tooth. It involves removing the infected pulp, cleaning the inner chambers, and sealing the tooth to prevent further issues. This treatment helps relieve pain and avoids the need for tooth extraction.

If you experience any of the following symptoms, it might be time to schedule a consultation:

A root canal is a dental procedure used to treat infection or damage inside a tooth. It involves removing the infected pulp, cleaning the root canals, and sealing the tooth to prevent further infection.
You may need a root canal if you have: Severe tooth pain, especially when chewing, sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers, swollen gums or an abscess near the tooth, or deep decay or damage to the tooth.
A root canal usually takes 1-2 visits, each lasting 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the complexity of the case.
After the procedure:
The tooth may feel slightly sensitive for a few days.
You may need a crown to restore the tooth's strength.
Regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups are necessary to maintain oral health.
Saving your natural tooth is always the best option when possible. A root canal allows you to keep your tooth, whereas extraction may require a dental implant or bridge to restore function and aesthetics.
The cost varies depending on location, the tooth affected, and whether a crown is needed. It can range from $300 to $2,000. Dental insurance may cover part of the cost.
The only alternative to a root canal is tooth extraction, followed by an implant, bridge, or denture to replace the missing tooth.
Yes, but wait until the numbness wears off. Avoid hard, sticky, or very hot foods until the final restoration (crown) is placed.
With proper care, a root canal-treated tooth can last a lifetime, especially if it is restored with a crown and maintained with good oral hygiene.
Your initial dental appointment is crucial. Expect a thorough examination, including checking your teeth, gums, and overall oral health. The dentist may take X-rays and discuss any necessary treatments or preventive measures. Don’t hesitate to ask questions during this visit.
