What Is Root Canal Treatment?
A root canal is a procedure used to treat an infected tooth. When there is infection or inflammation in the pulp of the tooth, it can be very painful. Having a root canal removes the source of the infection, along with the pulp. Then the tooth is sealed, and the pain will disappear.
Root canal treatment involves:
- Cleaning out the infected tooth pulp Disinfecting the canals in the tooth root
- Sealing the tooth to prevent reinfection
- Permanently restoring the tooth with a filling and often a crown
A root canal procedure can allow you to keep your natural tooth in your mouth, while eliminating the pain and infection.

After the canals are cleaned, we seal the tooth to prevent any chance of reinfection.
A filling is placed to restore the tooth. Sometimes a temporary filling is used for a short time to ensure that the tooth is feelng good before permanent restoration. A crown is often recommended after a root canal, as it is a very strong restoration and a tooth with a root canal can be more prone to fracture. Most root canal treatments are completed in one or two visits.
