Root Canal Treatment

A root canal treatment is a dental procedure to remove inflamed or infected pulp on the inside of the tooth which is then carefully cleaned and disinfected, then filled and sealed. Root canal treatment is designed to eliminate bacteria from the infected root canal, prevent reinfection of the tooth and save the natural tooth.

It’s necessary to have endodontic or root canal treatment when the inside of your tooth (the pulp) becomes inflamed or infected as a result of deep decay, repeated dental procedures, faulty crowns or a crack or chip in the tooth. Trauma to your tooth may also cause pulp damage even if the tooth has no visible chips or cracks. If pulp inflammation or infection is left untreated, in can cause pain or lead to an abscess.

What are the signs I may need a root canal?

If you have an infected tooth, you may need root canal treatment to clear out the infection. You can have infected teeth without symptoms. When you have symptoms, they may include:

Tooth pain that doesn’t go away.
Lots of things make your teeth hurt. But pain that’s deep in a tooth or that spreads to your jaw, face or other teeth may mean you have an infection.
Pressure hurts.
If your tooth hurts when you eat or touch it, it may mean something damaged the nerves around your tooth pulp.
Swollen gums.
If you have an infected tooth, your gums may swell or feel tender.
Pimple on your gums.
Infected teeth can create pimples or boils on your gums that ooze smelly pus.
Swollen jaw.
Your jaw may swell from pus that doesn’t drain away from your infected tooth.
Discolored tooth.
Tooth pulp infection keeps blood from getting to your tooth. That makes your tooth turn dark.
Loose tooth.
Pus from infected tooth pulp can soften the bones supporting your tooth, making your tooth feel loose.

When you undergo a root canal or other endodontic treatment, the inflamed or infected pulp is removed and the inside of the tooth is carefully cleaned and disinfected, then filled and sealed with a rubber-like material called gutta-percha. Afterwards, the tooth is restored with a crown or filling for protection and will continue to function like any other tooth.

Endodontic treatment helps you maintain your natural smile, continue eating the foods you love and limits the need for ongoing dental work. With proper care, most teeth that have had root canal treatment can last a lifetime.
