What is a Root Canal?
A root canal is a dental procedure that treats the inside of the tooth. It involves removing the damaged area of the tooth (the pulp), cleaning and disinfecting it, then filling and sealing it. The common causes of damage to the pulp are:
- Deep decay
- Repeated dental procedures on the tooth
- Faulty crowns
- A crack or chip in the tooth
- Injury to the tooth
Signs You May Need a Root Canal
- Severe pain while chewing or applying pressure
- Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures
- Discoloration of the tooth
- Swelling and tenderness in nearby gums
- A persistent or recurring pimple on the gums

Debunking Root Canal Myths
- Myth: Root canals are extremely painful. Reality: With modern techniques and anesthesia, most patients report that the procedure is no more uncomfortable than getting a filling.
- Myth: It's better to pull the tooth than have a root canal. Reality: Saving your natural tooth, if possible, is always the best option for your oral health.
- Myth: Root canals cause illness. Reality: There's no valid scientific evidence linking root canal treatment to disease elsewhere in the body.
