When Is Root Canal Therapy Needed?
Root canal treatment is recommended when the pulp — the inner tissue of a tooth — is affected by:
-
Deep decay or cavities
-
Cracks, chips, or tooth trauma
-
Repeated dental procedures on the same tooth
-
Severe sensitivity or lingering pain to hot or cold
-
Jaw pain, swelling, or gum tenderness
Saving the natural tooth through root canal therapy helps maintain jaw strength and prevents future complications.

What to Expect During Root Canal Treatment
-
Evaluation & Imaging
Digital X-rays identify the infected area for precise treatment planning.
-
Anesthesia & Isolation
The tooth is completely numbed, and a dental dam protects it during treatment.
-
Cleaning & Shaping
We gently remove the infected pulp, clean and shape the canal, and irrigate thoroughly.
-
Filling & Protection
The canal is sealed with biocompatible material, then topped with a temporary or permanent crown to strengthen the tooth.
-
Recovery & Long-Term Care
Mild soreness is common, eased with over-the-counter pain relievers. A follow‑up appointment ensures complete healing.
FAQs — Root Canal Treatment
Is it painful?
Modern tools and anesthesia make root canal therapy no more uncomfortable than a filling.
How long does recovery take?
Most patients resume normal activity within 1–2 days, with complete healing shortly thereafter.
Do I always need a crown?
In most cases, a crown is recommended to protect the tooth and restore full function.
Can root canals fail?
Rarely. If needed, a retreatment or referral to an endodontist optimizes outcomes.
