Root Canal Treatment & Fillings

Root Canal Treatment

Save your natural tooth and restore your smile. Root canal treatment is a safe and effective way to treat infected or damaged tooth pulp without removing the tooth. Preserving your natural tooth prevents shifting of nearby teeth, jaw problems, and the need for artificial replacements.

What is a Root Canal?

A root canal, also called endodontic treatment, involves removing the infected, injured, or dead pulp from inside the tooth. This pulp contains nerves and blood vessels that once supported the tooth’s growth. When it becomes infected due to deep cavities, cracks, or faulty fillings, a tooth abscess can form—leading to pain, swelling, and serious oral health problems if untreated.

Why You May Need a Root Canal

• Severe tooth pain or sensitivity
• Swelling or tenderness around the gums
• Deep cavities or cracks in the tooth
• Infection visible in dental X-rays
• Abscess formation inside the tooth

The Root Canal Procedure

Step-by-step, safe and painless:

1. Local anesthesia is given to numb the area.
2. A rubber dam is placed to keep the tooth clean and dry.
3. An opening is made to access the root canal system.
4. The infected pulp is carefully removed using fine instruments.
5. The canal is cleaned, shaped, and sealed with filling material.
6. The tooth is closed with a temporary or permanent filling.

Restoring the Tooth After Treatment

After the root canal, your tooth will need a proper restoration to look, feel, and function like a natural tooth again.

Depending on the case, your dentist may recommend:

• Permanent filling – for smaller restorations
• Crown – especially for back teeth to withstand chewing pressure
• Posts with crowns – if too little tooth structure remains

Root Canal Retreatment

Most root canal treatments are highly successful. However, in rare cases, retreatment may be necessary if infection reoccurs. The existing filling material is removed, the canal is thoroughly cleaned and reshaped, and then refilled to save the tooth.
