What is a Root Canal?

Thanks to advancements in modern dental science, root canal therapy is now no more disruptive than that of a simple dental filling. When the soft inner core or “pulp” of the tooth has been exposed to decay, patients may feel discomfort of a sense of pain inside their tooth or the surrounding tissues. This root canal infection is easily remedied with professional dental help using the best treatment methods in modern dental science.

Symptoms of a Root Canal

If you can’t find sleep at night because of a chronic toothache or dental pain, speak our office to schedule a consultation. An infected root canal can cause tooth sensitivity or worsening pain over time, and may even lead to tooth loss if left untreated. For most patients with a root canal this dental condition develops as a result of one of the following situations: 

• Chipped, cracked or broken tooth

• Deep pockets around the teeth or receding gums

• Repeated dental procedures

• Trapped bacteria or gum disease below the surface of the tooth

• Poor dental hygiene or a naturally weakened tooth structure
