Root Canal Treatment

What Is Root Canal Treatment?

Inside every tooth is soft tissue called dental pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels. If bacteria enter the pulp through decay, trauma, or cracks, infection and inflammation may develop. Root canal treatment involves carefully cleaning and sealing the inner canals of the tooth to help manage infection and preserve the tooth.

In many cases, root canal treatment may help patients avoid tooth extraction and maintain natural tooth function.

Signs You May Need Root Canal Treatment

You may benefit from a dental assessment if you experience:

  • Ongoing tooth pain
  • Sensitivity to hot or cold
  • Pain when chewing or biting
  • Swollen or tender gums
  • Facial swelling
  • Tooth discolouration
  • Persistent dental infection

Symptoms can vary depending on the severity of the infection and the condition of the tooth.
