How do root canals work?

Root canals are essential procedures in endodontics, designed to save teeth that are badly decayed or infected. During a root canal, the infected pulp inside the tooth is removed, the interior of the tooth is cleaned and disinfected, and then it is filled and sealed to prevent further infection.

What kinds of issues can endodontics address?

Endodontics can help address a variety of dental issues, including:

  • Severe tooth decay

  • Infected or abscessed teeth

  • Damage to the pulp from trauma

  • Cracked or chipped teeth

  • Persistent tooth pain or sensitivity

These treatments not only alleviate pain and infection but also save natural teeth that might otherwise need to be extracted.

What is involved in getting a root canal?

Getting a root canal involves several steps. First, a comprehensive examination and X-rays are performed to determine the extent of the infection. The area around the affected tooth is numbed with local anesthesia to ensure comfort during the procedure. The dentist then creates an opening in the tooth to access the infected pulp. Using specialized instruments, the pulp is removed, and the interior of the tooth is thoroughly cleaned and shaped. After cleaning, the tooth is filled with a biocompatible material and sealed. In most cases, a crown is placed on the tooth to restore its function and appearance.
