What Is a Root Canal?

Root canal procedures get their name from the area in the mouth that requires treatment. When the roots of your teeth become infected, it’s necessary to clear away the infection and clean up the canal for long-term comfort and restoring your tooth health. Performing a root canal can both relieve tooth pain and help you preserve your natural tooth.

How Does a Root Canal Work?

Our dental professionals perform simple root canal treatments at our clinic. You’ll receive a local anesthetic to fully numb the area before any work begins. Once you’re sufficiently numb, our dentists will clear away the infection from the root canals of the affected tooth, filling them in afterwards to seal them from further infection. Your tooth is then resealed and fitted for a crown in most cases. This procedure lets you keep your natural tooth and restore full functionality.
