The Truth About Root Canals

What a Root Canal Really Does

Inside every tooth is a soft center called the pulp. When deep decay, a crack or an old filling lets bacteria reach the pulp, it becomes infected — causing pain, sensitivity to hot and cold, and sometimes swelling. A root canal removes the infected tissue, disinfects the inside of the tooth, and seals it, ending the pain while keeping your natural tooth in place.

Root canals have an outdated scary reputation from decades ago. Today, with effective anesthesia and modern tools, the procedure is comfortable — the goal is to stop your pain, not cause it. Afterward we usually place a crown to protect and strengthen the tooth for years of normal use.

Signs You May Need a Root Canal

Lingering tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold that doesn’t go away, tenderness when chewing, a pimple-like bump on the gum, or swelling. If you have any of these, call us — early treatment is easier and more comfortable.
