What is root canal therapy?
Root canal therapy (endodontic treatment) is a procedure designed to save a severely damaged or infected tooth from extraction. The infected dental pulp is carefully removed, and the root canal system is cleaned, shaped, and sealed with a biocompatible, inert filling material.
When is a root canal needed?
Root canal therapy is indicated when tooth decay or trauma has reached the nerve (dental pulp). Symptoms include severe toothache, prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold, darkening of the tooth, and swelling or tenderness in the surrounding gums.
Who is a candidate?
Men, women, and children with severe tooth decay that has compromised the blood vessels, nerve tissue, or dental pulp. Early treatment can save the natural tooth and prevent the need for extraction and more costly replacement options.
