Root Canal Therapy
A root canal is one of the most common endodontic procedures when a tooth is too decayed or dying. We use root canal treatment to stop the infection and prevent its spread to other teeth. During the root canal, we remove the nerve tissue and fill the pulp cavity.
This procedure prevents people from losing teeth due to infections and abscesses. Root canal therapy relieves tooth pain, stops infections, and promotes healing. It is a simple and painless same-day treatment.

FAQs - Endodontics
Endodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry that focuses on diagnosing and treating issues related to the dental pulp, the soft tissue inside the tooth. This includes root canal therapy, which can save infected or severely damaged teeth.
A root canal is a common endodontic procedure that removes infected or damaged pulp from the inside of a tooth. You may need a root canal if you experience persistent tooth pain, sensitivity to heat or cold, swelling, or notice a darkening of the tooth, indicating an infection or injury.
Contrary to popular belief, modern root canals are relatively painless. With advances in technology and anesthesia, the procedure feels similar to having a cavity filled. Any discomfort experienced after the treatment can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
A typical root canal procedure takes one to two hours, depending on the complexity of the case. Most treatments can be completed in one visit, although some may require additional appointments if complications arise.
If an infected or damaged tooth isn’t treated with a root canal, the infection can spread to surrounding tissues, causing abscesses and other serious health issues. In extreme cases, untreated infections can lead to tooth loss.
Most patients experience mild discomfort or sensitivity for a few days after a root canal. It’s important to avoid chewing on the treated tooth until it’s fully restored with a crown or filling. Good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups will help maintain the tooth’s health after the procedure.
After a root canal, the tooth will be restored with a filling or crown, so it will look and function like your other natural teeth. You may notice slight sensitivity at first, but it should subside as the tooth heals.
While many teeth can be saved through root canal therapy, there are cases where extraction may be the better option. If a tooth is too damaged or the infection too severe, your dentist may recommend removing the tooth and exploring options like dental implants or bridges.
The best way to prevent the need for a root canal is through regular dental care. Brush and floss daily, attend routine check-ups, and avoid biting hard objects that can crack or damage your teeth. Early treatment of cavities or minor issues can also prevent more serious infections.
An endodontist is a dentist who has completed additional years of specialized training in diagnosing and treating issues related to the tooth’s pulp. While general dentists can perform root canals, endodontists often handle more complex cases or retreatments when a previous root canal needs additional work.
