There is a lot of misinformation about root canals, but in reality, a root canal doesn’t cause pain—it relieves it. This restorative procedure is used to save a tooth that is severely infected or damaged, preventing the need for an extraction and keeping your natural smile intact.
Inside the Tooth: Why Root Canals are Needed
When decay or a crack reaches the inner “pulp” of the tooth, it can cause an abscess and intense pain. During a root canal, we gently remove the infected pulp, clean and disinfect the canals, and seal the space to prevent further infection.
Life After a Root Canal
After the internal part of the tooth is restored, we typically place a crown over it to restore its strength. A tooth that has had a root canal can last a lifetime with proper care, functioning just like any other tooth.
Conclusion:
Nothing is better than your natural tooth. Let’s save it together.
