Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is a dental procedure performed to save a tooth that has been severely damaged or infected. The treatment involves removing the damaged area of the tooth (the pulp), cleaning and disinfecting it, and then filling and sealing it. The common causes of pulp damage include a cracked tooth, a deep cavity, repeated dental treatments to the tooth, or trauma. The procedure not only relieves pain but also prevents the spread of infection to other teeth. A successful root canal can restore the functionality of the tooth and prevent the need for extraction.

A root canal treatment involves removing infected pulp tissue inside the tooth root canal and sealing the space to save the tooth from extraction.
Root canals are needed when tooth pulp becomes inflamed or infected, usually from deep decay, repetitive dental procedures, large fillings, or cracks or chips in enamel.
Root canals are done under local anesthesia so they should not be painful during the procedure. Some tenderness may occur afterward as the tissue heals.
A root canal usually takes 1-2 visits spaced a week or so apart, with each appointment lasting 1-2 hours. The tooth is prepared on the first visit and then sealed on the second.
Symptoms like toothache pain, sensitivity to hot or cold lasting more than momentarily, swelling around the gums near the tooth, or darkening of the tooth color indicate a possible need for a root canal.
It’s best to avoid chewing on the treated tooth until the numbness fully wears off to avoid biting your lip or cheek. Soft foods are ideal for the first few days while the tooth heals.
