What Is a Root Canal Treatment?

Despite its reputation, a root canal is a relatively simple procedure that can relieve your pain and save your natural tooth. If you have a toothache, we recommend seeking care right away. Early treatment makes everything easier.

Inside every tooth is a pulp chamber filled with nerves and blood vessels. When bacteria reach this space, you feel pain. During a root canal, we carefully remove the infected pulp, clean and seal the canal, and usually finish with a crown that protects the tooth for years to come.

Signs You May Need a Root Canal

If any of these sound familiar, give us a call. Catching an infection early protects your tooth and gets you out of pain faster.

Severe Toothache

Persistent pain or pain when chewing often signals an infection that needs attention.

Hot or Cold Sensitivity

Sharp or lingering sensitivity to hot or cold drinks can mean the nerve inside is inflamed.

Swollen or Tender Gums

Tenderness, swelling, or a small bump near a tooth can point to an infection at the root.

Tooth Discoloration

A tooth that has darkened compared to its neighbors may indicate damage deep inside.

What to Expect at Your Appointment

From the first numbing step to the protective crown, here is how a root canal works at Charming Smiles.

  1. 01

    Numbing for Comfort

    We numb the area completely so you feel relaxed and comfortable from the moment we begin.

  2. 02

    Clear the Infection

    We carefully remove the infected pulp inside the tooth and clean the canal thoroughly.

  3. 03

    Seal the Tooth

    The canal is filled with a flexible material called gutta-percha to keep bacteria out for good.

  4. 04

    Protect with a Crown

    We finish with a custom crown that protects and strengthens the tooth for many years to come.
