What is a Root Canal?
A root canal is a trusted dental procedure used to treat an infected or damaged tooth pulp—the soft tissue inside your tooth containing nerves and blood vessels. When this pulp becomes infected due to deep decay, cracks, or injury, it can cause severe pain, swelling, and sensitivity. Root canal therapy removes the infected pulp, thoroughly cleans and disinfects the tooth’s interior, and then seals it to prevent future infection. This treatment helps you avoid tooth extraction and maintain your natural smile.
When is a Root Canal Needed?
You may need a root canal if you experience:
- Persistent or severe tooth pain.
- Pain when biting or chewing.
- Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold.
- Swelling or tenderness near the tooth.
- Discoloration or darkening of the affected tooth.
If you notice any of these signs, scheduling a prompt evaluation at Canton Healthy Smiles is essential to prevent further complications.
What to Expect During the Root Canal Procedure
Your comfort is our priority. We begin by numbing the area with local anesthesia to ensure a pain-free experience. A dental dam is placed around your tooth to keep the treatment area clean and dry. The infected pulp is carefully removed, and the inside of your tooth is cleaned and disinfected. Then, we fill the space with a biocompatible material and seal it. In most cases, a crown is recommended afterward to restore the tooth’s strength and appearance.
