Root canal therapy, also known as endodontic treatment, is a specialized dental procedure designed to remove infection from the inner layers of a tooth and preserve its natural structure. Inside each tooth lies a soft tissue called the pulp, made up of blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissue that provide nourishment and sensation. When this pulp becomes infected or inflamed due to decay, cracks, or trauma, it can cause severe pain and lead to tooth loss if left untreated.
Root canal treatment helps eliminate the infection, relieve pain, and protect the tooth from future damage — all while maintaining your natural smile.
A root canal may be necessary when:
Ignoring these symptoms can lead to abscess formation, bone loss, or even systemic infection — making early intervention crucial.
Personalized care for every patient
No. With modern anesthesia and advanced techniques, root canal treatment is virtually painless.
Most root canal treatments are completed in 1–2 visits, depending on the infection.
Delaying treatment can lead to severe pain, abscess formation, and possible tooth loss.
You should avoid chewing on the treated side until the permanent crown is placed.
