When the inner part of a tooth becomes infected or inflamed, root canal treatment may help preserve the natural tooth and relieve discomfort. Symptoms such as persistent pain, sensitivity, swelling, or deep decay often indicate the need for professional evaluation.

Root canal treatment focuses on removing infection while protecting the structure and function of the tooth. Saving the natural tooth can help maintain chewing ability and overall oral health.

Treatment begins with a detailed examination and necessary imaging to understand the extent of the infection. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, the affected pulp tissue inside the tooth is carefully removed.

The root canals are cleaned, disinfected, and shaped to eliminate bacteria and reduce the risk of future infection. After cleaning, the canals are sealed to protect the tooth.

Depending on the condition of the tooth, a dental crown may be recommended to restore strength and functionality. Patients are also provided with aftercare instructions and follow-up recommendations to support healing.
