Overview

What a root canal really is

A root canal treats infection or damage deep inside a tooth. The inflamed tissue is gently removed, the inside is cleaned and sealed, and the tooth is restored — usually with a crown — so you can keep it rather than lose it.

Despite its reputation, modern root canal treatment is typically no more uncomfortable than a filling, and it relieves the pain that brought you in.

Comfortable treatment

The tooth is fully numbed; the infected tissue is removed and the canals cleaned.

Seal

The inside is sealed to prevent re-infection.

Restore

The tooth is rebuilt — usually with a crown — to protect it long-term.

Questions

Good to know

Does a root canal hurt?

The procedure itself is done under full anesthetic and is usually comfortable — most people say it feels like a routine filling. It actually relieves the pain of the infection.

Root canal or extraction?

Saving your natural tooth is almost always preferable when possible. If a tooth truly can't be saved, we'll discuss implants and other options honestly.

Will I need a crown after?

Usually yes. A crown protects the treated tooth so it can function normally for years.
