Root Canal Treatment: What You Need to Know
What is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment is a dental procedure used to save a tooth that is badly decayed or infected. It involves removing the damaged or infected tissue inside the tooth, cleaning and disinfecting the area, and then sealing it to prevent further infection.
When is Root Canal Treatment Needed?
You may need a root canal if you experience:
- Severe tooth pain, especially when chewing
- Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold
- Swollen or tender gums
- Darkening of the tooth
How is Root Canal Treatment Done?
- The dentist numbs the area around the affected tooth.
- They create a small opening in the tooth to access the infected pulp.
- The infected tissue is removed, and the area is cleaned and disinfected.
- The tooth is sealed with a filling or crown to protect it.
Does Root Canal Treatment Hurt?
With modern dental techniques, root canals are no more painful than a regular filling. Most patients feel relief from pain after the procedure.

- Saves your natural tooth
