Root canal therapy treats infections in the dental pulp, the innermost part of the tooth. The dental pulp is inside the pulp chamber and includes connective tissues, blood vessels, and nerves.
Root canal treatment is extremely common and can restore a tooth to full health and functionality. The alternative to root canal treatment is to have an infected tooth extracted. We only recommend tooth removal as a last resort, as it is always preferable to preserve your natural teeth.
When Would I Need Root Canal Therapy?
You would need root canal therapy if bacteria naturally found in your mouth can enter your dental pulp, causing inflammation, a condition called pulpitis. An inflamed pulp becomes swollen, increasing pressure inside the pulp chamber and causing a painful toothache.
Sometimes, trauma can cause tooth pain. If you take a blow to the mouth, it can inflame the pulp, causing it to become swollen and painful.
