What is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is a highly effective dental procedure designed to save a severely infected or damaged tooth. It involves removing the infected or inflamed pulp, which is the soft tissue inside the tooth that contains nerves and blood vessels. The tooth is then thoroughly cleaned, disinfected, and sealed to prevent further infection and protect it from future damage.
What is Root Canal Treatment?
- Persistent and severe toothache
- Sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures
- Swelling and tenderness in the nearby gums
- Discoloration or darkening of the affected tooth
- Prolonged sensitivity to touch or pressure

The Crest Family Dental Root Canal Procedure:
- Assessment and Diagnosis: Our dentist will examine your teeth, gums, and X-rays to assess the extent of the damage and determine if root canal treatment is the best option for you.
- Local Anesthesia: Before starting the procedure, a local anesthetic will be administered to ensure you are comfortable and pain-free during the treatment.
- Pulp Removal: An access hole will be made in the tooth to reach the infected pulp, which will then be carefully removed using specialized dental tools.
- Cleaning and Disinfection: The inside of the tooth will be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected to eliminate any bacteria and prevent reinfection.
- Filling and Sealing: After cleaning, the tooth will be filled with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha and sealed with a dental filling or crown to restore its strength and protect it from further damage.
- Restoration: In some cases, a dental crown may be recommended to provide additional support and functionality to the treated tooth.
