When Is a Root Canal Necessary?

A root canal treatment is typically required to alleviate pain and discomfort caused by infected teeth. Indicators that you may need a root canal include irritation and swelling of the gumline around the affected tooth, along with deep, persistent pain. This treatment can help preserve your tooth and avoid the need for extraction.

How Does a Root Canal Work?

During a root canal, your dentist will carefully remove the infected tissue from the tooth’s roots by drilling into the tooth to access the inner pulp. Once the area is thoroughly cleaned, it is filled to prevent further infection. Because this procedure may compromise the structure of the natural tooth, a dental crown is often recommended for added protection and support.
