Root canal therapy is a routine yet critical dental procedure that can manage tooth decay and infection, and save a tooth from extraction. Our teeth are made up of several layers. The center layer, known as the pulp, consists of nerves and blood vessels. If the pulp gets infected, it can cause pain and swelling. A root canal gets rid of the infected pulp and brings your tooth back to health. The process begins with your dentist removing the infected or damaged pulp from the inside of the tooth. Next, the inside of the tooth is cleaned and disinfected. The empty space is filled with a special material and then sealed with a gold, porcelain or tooth-coloured inlay/onlay or crown. The aim of root canal therapy is to treat the root cause of the problem and save your tooth from extraction.

A root canal is usually performed when a tooth has a crack, fracture, infection, deep cavity or an injury. Timely treatment is crucial, as it stops the issue from escalating further into dental abscesses or even tooth loss. Many problems can be solved with a root canal without the need for an extraction. Root canal therapy often provides relief from extreme pain and discomfort associated with damage or infection. By addressing the underlying issue, symptoms can be alleviated and proper oral function can be restored, allowing you to speak, eat, and smile again. Furthermore, saving a natural tooth from extraction helps to maintain proper dental alignment and prevents adjacent teeth from shifting, which preserves the overall integrity of your smile. Most root canal interventions are long-lasting, making them even more cost-effective over time. Root Canal therapy at Highwood Dental offers patients an effective and conservative solution for maintaining their oral health and preserving their natural teeth. We look forward to helping you on your road to optimal oral health!
