Root canal

What Is a Root Canal?

A Root Canal is a dental procedure that treats infection or damage deep inside a tooth. It is designed to save a tooth that might otherwise need to be removed due to severe decay, infection, or trauma.

How Does a Root Canal Work?

During the procedure, the dentist:

  1. Numbs the area to ensure comfort.
  2. Removes the infected or damaged pulp inside the tooth.
  3. Cleans and disinfects the root canals.
  4. Fills and seals the tooth to prevent further infection.
  5. Often places a crown for added strength and protection.

Why Might You Need a Root Canal?

  • Severe tooth pain or sensitivity
  • Deep decay or infection
  • A cracked or broken tooth
  • Swelling or abscess near the tooth

A root canal can relieve pain, restore function, and save your natural tooth. If you’re experiencing tooth pain, schedule a consultation with Smile Solutions Dental Group to see if a root canal is the right solution for you!
