What is Root Canal Therapy?

Root canal therapy is a procedure designed to save a natural tooth from extraction, particularly when the tooth’s nerve is compromised by infection, injury or decay. Common reasons for a compromised tooth that necessitates root canal therapy include cracks, deep cavities or injuries. To salvage the tooth, the living tissue, nerves, bacteria and any infection or decay are meticulously removed by your dentist. The resulting space is then filled with specialized medicated dental materials, restoring the tooth’s full function. If left untreated, an injured or compromised tooth can lead to severe pain, a dental abscess or potential tooth loss, emphasizing the importance of early intervention.

Root canal therapy is often the preferred treatment to preserve a tooth that may otherwise require extraction. Extracting a problematic tooth may result in higher costs and also poses potential issues for adjacent teeth. While Root canal therapy is a reliable and effective treatment option known for its high success rate and long-lasting results, occasional re-treatment may be necessary if new infections occur.
