Root canal therapy is a dental procedure designed to preserve a natural tooth, particularly when the tooth’s nerve is impacted by infection, injury, or decay. Common indications for requiring root canal therapy include cracks, deep cavities or injuries that compromise the integrity of the tooth. To salvage the affected tooth, the procedure involves first removing the living tissue, nerves, bacteria and any associated infection or decay. The resulting empty space is carefully filled with specialized medicated dental materials, which restores the tooth’s full function.

If an injured, infected or decayed tooth is left unaddressed, this can lead to intense pain, the formation of a dental abscess or potential tooth loss. This is why early intervention is crucial when it comes to an affected tooth.

Root canal therapy is often the preferred treatment to save a tooth that might otherwise require extraction. The extraction of a problematic tooth can incur higher costs and pose potential issues for adjacent teeth. Root canal therapy is a reliable and effective treatment option, known for its high success rate and long-lasting results. It is important to note, however, that occasional re-treatment may be required due to the emergence of new infections in the future.
