A root canal is a dental procedure that removes infected or damaged tissue from inside the tooth. The tooth is then cleaned, sealed, and usually restored with a crown to keep it strong and functional.
Common signs include severe toothache, sensitivity to hot or cold, swollen gums, or a darkened tooth. Only a dentist can confirm if a root canal is needed after an exam and X-ray.
Modern root canal treatments are performed with local anesthesia, making them virtually painless. In fact, the procedure relieves pain caused by the infection.
Most root canals can be completed in one to two visits, depending on the severity of the infection and the tooth being treated.
Most patients return to normal activities the same day. Mild soreness or sensitivity may last a few days but can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
With proper care and a crown for protection, a tooth treated with a root canal can last a lifetime. Good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups are essential.
