Saving Your Tooth by Removing Damaged or Decayed Pulp

Root canals are necessary when the nerves and pulp inside a tooth are damaged or decayed. To save the tooth, the pulp, nerves, and decay/bacteria need to be removed and replaced.

Signs and Symptoms for Possible Root Canal Therapy

Comprehensive Cleanings and Examinations - The Key to a Healthy Mouth

Abscess on the Gums
An abscess is a pus-filled pocket that forms at the base of the tooth root, indicating a severe infection that has reached the pulp and nerve tissues inside the tooth.
Sensitivity to Hot and Cold
Heightened sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures may signal that the tooth's nerve is exposed or infected, causing discomfort when consuming hot or cold foods and beverages.
Severe Tooth Pain, Swelling, or Tenderness
Persistent, severe tooth pain, along with swelling or tenderness in the surrounding gums, can be a sign of infection or significant decay affecting the tooth's nerve and pulp, necessitating root canal therapy to relieve pain and save the tooth.

What Does Root Canal Therapy Involve?

A root canal is performed by a dentist over one or more appointments:

An opening is made at the top of the tooth:

The dentist creates a small access point at the top of the affected tooth to reach the inner pulp and nerve tissues.

The pulp, nerve tissues, and bacteria are removed:

Using specialized tools, the dentist carefully removes the infected or damaged pulp, nerve tissues, and bacteria from inside the tooth, thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting the area.

The tooth is sealed with a filling and crown:

After the interior of the tooth is cleaned, the dentist fills the space with a biocompatible material and seals it. Finally, a crown is placed over the tooth to restore its shape, strength, and functionality.
