Root Canal

Root Canal Treatment at Mall Road Dental

Root canal treatment is a procedure designed to help preserve teeth that are affected by deep decay, trauma, or infection in the pulp. During treatment, the infected tissue inside the tooth is carefully removed, and the space is sealed. In many cases, a crown is recommended afterward to restore strength and function to the tooth.

Why Root Canal Treatment May Be Needed

An untreated infection inside a tooth can lead to significant pain, swelling, or abscess formation. While many patients worry about root canals, modern techniques and anesthesia help make the procedure more comfortable. Root canal treatment may help relieve pain and support long-term oral health.
BOOK APPOINTMENT

Steps of the Procedure

Exam and Diagnosis

An X-ray and exam are performed to determine if root canal treatment is appropriate.

Preparation

The procedure is scheduled, and in some cases antibiotics may be prescribed. An impression may also be taken if a crown will be placed afterward.

Treatment

Local anesthetic is used to numb the tooth. The infected pulp is removed, and the root canal space is cleaned.

Sealing the Tooth

The space inside the root is filled with a special material to help prevent reinfection. A temporary filling or crown may be placed.

Final Restoration

A second appointment may be required to place a permanent, customized crown for full function and protection.

When to Seek Care

If you are experiencing persistent tooth pain, swelling, or sensitivity, it’s important to have the tooth examined.
