Root Canal Treatment
Save Your Tooth, Restore Your Smile
At Rutva Dental Care And Implant Center, we understand the anxiety that can come with dental treatments, especially when it involves a root canal. Our team is dedicated to providing you with the highest quality care, ensuring your comfort and peace of mind throughout the procedure.
What is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is a procedure designed to save a tooth that is severely infected or decayed. The treatment involves removing the infected pulp from inside the tooth, cleaning and disinfecting the inner chambers, and then filling and sealing the space to prevent further infection.
Why You Might Need a Root Canal
You may need a root canal if you experience:
- Severe tooth pain, especially when chewing or applying pressure
- Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures
- Darkening or discoloration of the tooth
- Swelling and tenderness in the surrounding gums
- A persistent or recurring pimple on the gums
These symptoms can indicate an infection within the tooth that, if left untreated, can lead to abscess formation and potential tooth loss.
