What is a Root Canal Procedure?

A root canal treatment is a dental procedure to remove inflamed or infected pulp on the inside of the tooth which is then carefully cleaned and disinfected, then filled and sealed. Root canals are designed to eliminate bacteria from the infected root canal, prevent reinfection of the tooth, and save the natural tooth.

Inside your tooth, beneath the white enamel and a hard layer called dentin, is a soft tissue called pulp. This tissue contains blood vessels, nerves and connective tissue, which help grow the root of your tooth during its development. A fully developed tooth can survive without the pulp because the tooth continues to be nourished by the tissues surrounding it.

Do I need a root canaL?

There are a few symptoms that mean you might need a root canal:

Severe pain while chewing or biting
Pimples on the gums
A chipped or cracked tooth
Lingering sensitivity to hot or cold, even after the sensation has been removed
Swollen or tender gums
Deep decay or darkening of the gums

Do root canaLs hurt?

No, given anesthesia, a root canal isn't more painful than a regular dental procedure. However the area may be sore and numb for several days.
