Root Canal

Root canal therapy, often simply referred to as a root canal, is a procedure designed to save a tooth that is severely infected or decayed. During the treatment, our skilled dentist, Dr. Sharma, removes the infected pulp (the soft center of the tooth), cleans the inside of the tooth, and seals it to prevent future infections. Afterward, a dental crown is typically placed over the tooth to strengthen and protect it, restoring its function and appearance.

Several conditions may necessitate a root canal, with the primary cause being a deep infection in the tooth’s pulp. This infection can result from severe decay, a chip or crack in the tooth, or a dental injury that allows bacteria to seep in. When left untreated, this infection can lead to an abscess or a more widespread infection, causing more severe health problems and often resulting in tooth loss.

It’s important to consult with a dentist if you experience signs of a tooth infection. These signs may include severe toothache, prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold, discoloration of the tooth, swollen or tender gums, or a recurring pimple on your gums.
