A treatment that dentists use to save a tooth that’s infected or damaged, the procedure involves removing the damaged tissue from inside the tooth, disinfecting the area, and then filling and sealing it. While root canals are often thought to be a very uncomfortable procedure, the truth is that once dental anesthetic has been administered and takes effect, root canal treatment serves to remove pain from an affected tooth. Patients may experience some sensitivity following this procedure, but it’s typically short-lived and can be managed with over-the-counter pain medications.

While tooth decay is the leading cause of root canal system infection, a tooth chip, crack, fracture, damaged tooth pulp, or repeated dental procedures can also contribute to the need for root canal treatment.

When cared for daily with diligent oral hygiene practices and regular in-office checkups and cleanings, your restored tooth will have the potential to look and function well for many years.
