Why root canal treatment may be needed
Deep decay, cracks, trauma or other problems can affect the pulp inside a tooth. Symptoms can vary, so diagnosis requires a dental examination and sometimes imaging.
The general treatment process
The dentist accesses the inside of the tooth, removes affected tissue, cleans and shapes the canals, and seals them. A final restoration may then be needed to protect the tooth.
What to discuss
Ask about the condition of the tooth, whether it can be restored, the recommended restoration afterwards, expected appointments and what symptoms should prompt a follow-up.
Common questions
Does needing a root canal always mean the tooth must be removed?
Not necessarily. Root canal treatment is one approach that can sometimes allow a diseased tooth to be retained when the tooth is restorable.
When should tooth pain be assessed?
Persistent or severe tooth pain, swelling or sensitivity should be discussed with a dental professional rather than self-treated indefinitely.
