Fillings, crowns & tooth replacement

Root Canal Treatment

When the inside of a tooth becomes infected or inflamed, a root canal removes the damaged tissue, cleans the tooth and seals it so you can keep it.

  • Sensitivity to hot or cold
  • Infection or abscess

What to expect

1

Find the cause

An exam and X-ray confirm what is causing the pain.

2

Treat the inside

With the tooth numbed, the infected tissue is removed and the canals are cleaned and sealed.

3

Protect it

Most treated back teeth need a crown to stay strong.

Every mouth is different. Your dentist will explain your options, timing and any costs before treatment.
