What Is a Root Canal?
A root canal (endodontic treatment) is a procedure used to remove infected or inflamed pulp (the soft tissue inside your tooth) and seal it to prevent further damage. It’s often the best way to save a tooth that might otherwise need to be extracted.
Common signs you might need a root canal include:
-
Persistent toothache or pressure
-
Sensitivity to hot or cold
-
Swelling or tenderness in the gums
-
A darkened or discolored tooth
-
Pain when biting or chewing
