Helping Preserve Your Natural Tooth A severely infected, inflamed or damaged tooth may require root canal treatment. Root canal treatment is designed to remove infected or damaged tissue from inside the tooth, clean and disinfect the area and restore the tooth so it can continue to function.
Inside every tooth is a soft tissue containing nerves and blood vessels. When this area becomes infected or severely inflamed, root canal treatment may be recommended.
• Persistent toothache.
• Sensitivity to hot or cold.
• Pain while chewing.
• Swelling around the tooth.
• Tenderness.
• Darkening of a tooth.
Without appropriate treatment, an infection inside a tooth may worsen and affect surrounding tissues. Root canal treatment may allow the natural tooth to be preserved when it is suitable for restoration.
Examination → Accessing the infected area → Cleaning and shaping → Sealing → Restoring the tooth The final restoration may include a crown or another suitable restoration depending on the condition of the tooth.
If you have persistent tooth pain or sensitivity, don't ignore it. A dental examination can help identify the cause and determine the appropriate treatment.
