Relieve tooth pain and save your natural tooth. Root canal treatment removes the infection inside the tooth, helping you eat, speak, and smile comfortably again. Most treatments are completed in just one or two visits.
Inside every tooth is a soft tissue called the dental pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels. When deep decay, cracks, or injury allow bacteria to reach the pulp, it becomes infected and causes pain, swelling, or sensitivity.
Root canal treatment removes the infected pulp, thoroughly cleans and disinfects the inside of the tooth, then seals it to prevent future infection. Instead of extracting the tooth, this treatment allows you to keep your natural tooth for many years with the right restoration.
An infected tooth will not heal on its own. Without treatment, the infection can spread deeper into the surrounding bone, leading to swelling, abscess formation, severe pain, and eventually tooth loss.
Root canal treatment removes the source of the infection while allowing you to keep your natural tooth whenever possible.
You may benefit from root canal treatment if you experience:
A dental examination and X-ray are needed to confirm whether root canal treatment is the right solution.

Root canal FAQ
Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the procedure feels. The tooth is fully numbed before treatment begins, and many people compare it to having a routine filling.
Keeping your natural tooth is usually the best long-term solution. Extraction may require an implant, bridge, or denture to restore function and appearance.
Many root canal treatments are completed in one visit, although more complex infections may require two appointments.
Back teeth often require a crown because they experience greater chewing pressure. Your dentist will advise whether a filling or crown is most suitable.
Antibiotics may temporarily reduce swelling but cannot remove infection trapped inside the tooth. Root canal treatment removes the source of the infection.
Whenever possible, preserving your natural tooth is usually the healthier long-term option. Tooth extraction may require an implant, bridge, or denture to replace the missing tooth.
With good oral hygiene, regular dental check-ups, and the appropriate restoration, a root canal-treated tooth can last for many years - even a lifetime.
