Is Root Canal right For Me?
Benefits of Getting Root Canal Treatment
Root canal therapy is a reliable way to save an infected or damaged tooth, relieve pain, and prevent the need for extraction. Here’s why patients choose root canal treatment:
- Relieves pain and swelling caused by infection
- Saves your natural tooth, avoiding extraction or replacement
- Maintains natural chewing function and appearance
- Prevents surrounding teeth from shifting
- More cost-effective than extraction followed by implant or bridge
When Is Root Canal Treatment Needed?
Root canal therapy is often recommended when the inner part of your tooth, known as the pulp, becomes inflamed or infected. This can be caused by:
- Deep decay reaching the pulp
- Cracks or chips that expose the inner tissue
- Severe or lingering sensitivity to heat, cold, or pressure
- Pain when chewing, swelling, or recurring gum pimples
- Infection visible on X-rays at the tip of the root
Treating the infection early helps save your natural tooth, preserves normal chewing function, and prevents neighbouring teeth from shifting into the gap.
