Root Canal Therapy Save Your Tooth Relieve Pain Fast

Root canal therapy is a safe and effective dental treatment used to save a badly damaged or infected tooth. Instead of removing the tooth, a dentist or endodontist carefully cleans out the infected pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth), disinfects it, and fills it to prevent further infection. This treatment helps stop tooth pain, protect your natural smile, and avoid the need for a tooth extraction.
Root canal therapy is commonly needed when a cavity, crack, or trauma has allowed bacteria to reach the pulp of the tooth, causing pain, swelling, or sensitivity to hot and cold. Signs that you may need a root canal include severe toothache, swollen gums, darkening of the tooth, or a pimple on the gum.
Many people fear root canals, but the truth is the procedure is usually no more uncomfortable than getting a regular filling. With modern tools and numbing techniques, root canal therapy is quick, painless, and highly successful.
