What Is Root Canal Therapy?
A root canal treats infection or inflammation inside the tooth, specifically in the soft tissue known as the pulp. When decay or trauma reaches this area, the tooth can’t heal on its own — and ignoring it can lead to abscesses or tooth loss.
Root canal therapy involves:
- Removing the infected or damaged pulp
- Cleaning and disinfecting the root canals
- Filling and sealing the space to prevent reinfection
- Placing a dental crown to restore the tooth’s function and strength
The procedure is designed to relieve pain — not cause it. With local anesthesia and modern techniques, most patients find the experience similar to getting a dental filling.
Signs You Might Need a Root Canal
Not every toothache means you need a root canal, but common warning signs include:
- Persistent or severe tooth pain
- Sensitivity to hot or cold, even after the source is removed
- Swollen or tender gums near the affected tooth
- A darkened or discolored tooth
- A small bump or pimple on the gums (abscess)
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, we recommend scheduling an evaluation right away. In many cases, a chipped or cracked tooth or deep cavity can lead to infection requiring root canal therapy.
The Root Canal Process at Pearl Dental Group
We make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible. Here’s what you can expect:
- Exam & X-rays – We evaluate the tooth and confirm whether root canal therapy is needed.
- Anesthesia – The area is numbed completely to ensure comfort throughout.
- Treatment – The infected tissue is carefully removed, and the canal is cleaned and sealed.
- Restoration – We place a custom dental crown to protect the tooth and restore its function.
Recovery is usually quick, and most patients feel better almost immediately after treatment.
