Understanding root canal treatment.
Inside each tooth is soft tissue called the pulp. When decay or injury lets bacteria reach it, the tooth can become painful or infected. A root canal treatment cleans the inside of the tooth and seals it.
Saving your own tooth is usually better than removing it. After treatment the tooth is often protected with a filling or crown so it can keep working for chewing.
Is this the right treatment for you?
You have a lasting toothache or pain when biting
Your tooth is sensitive to hot or cold for a long time

What to expect, step by step.
No surprises. You know what happens at each stage before it starts.
Examine and X-ray
We find the cause of the pain and use an X-ray to see the shape of the roots.
Numb and open
The tooth is numbed and a small opening gives access to the canals.
Clean and shape
Infected tissue is removed and the canals are cleaned and shaped.
Seal and protect
The canals are sealed and the tooth is restored, often with a crown.

Things patients ask us.
Have another question? Call the clinic and we will gladly explain.
Is a root canal painful?
The tooth is numbed so the treatment itself should be comfortable. Some tenderness afterwards is normal and settles in a few days.
How many visits are needed?
Many cases take one to a few visits, depending on the tooth and the infection.
Will I need a crown afterwards?
Often yes, especially for back teeth, because a protective crown helps prevent breakage.
What if I delay?
Infection can spread and make treatment harder. If you have pain or swelling, contact us soon.
