A root canal doesn't have to be something you dread. It's one of the most effective ways to save a tooth that would otherwise need to be removed, and it stops the pain that brought you in.
What Is Root Canal Therapy?
Root canal therapy removes infected or damaged tissue from inside a tooth, cleans and seals the space, and allows you to keep your natural tooth instead of losing it. It's a routine, well-established procedure, not the ordeal it's sometimes made out to be.
is it right for you?
A root canal is typically needed when decay, a crack, or an injury reaches deep enough to affect the tooth's nerve. Common signs include lingering tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold that doesn't go away, or swelling near a specific tooth. If you're experiencing any of these, it's worth getting checked before it gets worse.
What to Expect
Most root canals are completed in one or two visits, with local anesthesia used throughout to keep you comfortable.

WHY PATIENTS CHOOSE root canal therapy
The alternative to a root canal is usually extraction, which means losing the tooth entirely. Saving your natural tooth keeps your bite, your jawbone, and your smile working the way they're supposed to.
