Root Canal Treatment is a dental treatment used to treat infection or inflammation inside a tooth. When the soft tissue inside the tooth becomes damaged or infected, treatment can help remove the affected tissue, clean the root canals, and preserve the natural tooth.
At Prime Dental, each case is assessed individually to determine the most appropriate treatment for your tooth and overall oral health.
What Is Root Canal Treatment?
Inside every tooth is a soft tissue called the pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels. Deep tooth decay, cracks, trauma, or repeated dental procedures can sometimes cause the pulp to become inflamed or infected.
Root Canal Treatment removes the affected pulp, cleans and disinfects the inside of the tooth, and seals the root canals. The tooth can then be restored to help return its function and appearance.
When May You Need Root Canal Treatment?
You may need a dental assessment if you experience:
• Persistent or severe tooth pain
• Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold
• Pain when biting or chewing
• Swelling or tenderness around the tooth
• Deep tooth decay or a damaged tooth
• Darkening or discoloration of a tooth
These symptoms can have different causes, so a dental examination is important before deciding on treatment
What Can Root Canal Treatment Help With?
Root Canal Treatment is designed to address problems inside the tooth while helping preserve the natural tooth whenever possible.
• Remove infected or inflamed pulp
• Clean and seal the root canals
• Help relieve pain caused by pulp damage
• Stop the infection from progressing
• Preserve the natural tooth and its function
After treatment, a crown or other restoration may be recommended depending on how much of the tooth remains and its overall condition.
Before & After
