QUICK ANSWER

What is a root canal?

A root canal is a treatment that removes an infected or inflamed nerve from inside a tooth, cleans the inside, and seals it, so you can keep the natural tooth instead of pulling it. The tooth is numbed, so the procedure feels much like getting a filling. The tooth is often capped with a crown afterward.

FAQ

Questions patients ask

Does a root canal hurt?

The tooth is numbed, so the procedure itself should not hurt, and it often feels similar to having a filling placed. The pain people associate with root canals usually comes from the infection, and treatment is meant to relieve it. Tell us if you are nervous.

How do I know if I need a root canal?

Warning signs include a toothache that lingers or wakes you up, lasting sensitivity to hot or cold, pain when biting, swelling near the tooth, or a pimple-like bump on the gum. Only an exam and X-ray can confirm it. Call us if you have these symptoms.

Why not just pull the tooth?

Saving your natural tooth helps you keep chewing normally and keeps neighboring teeth from shifting. Sometimes a tooth can't be saved, and we will tell you honestly if that is the case and discuss replacement options.

Will I need a crown after a root canal?

Often yes. A tooth that has had a root canal can be more fragile, so a crown commonly protects it. Your dentist will tell you whether one is needed for your tooth.

Can I get a root canal on an emergency basis?

If you are in pain, call the office nearest you. We offer same-day emergency care, and walk-ins are welcome. We will evaluate the tooth and tell you what it needs.
