What Is a Root Canal?
A root canal is a dental procedure designed to save a damaged or infected tooth. When decay or infection reaches the tooth's pulp, a root canal can:
- Remove the infected tissue.
- Eliminate pain and discomfort.
- Prevent further tooth damage.
- Restore the tooth's function and appearance.
At Crossroads Family Dentistry, we use modern techniques to make root canal therapy comfortable and stress-free. Learn more about our Restorative Dentistry services.
Symptoms You Might Need a Root Canal
You may require root canal treatment if you experience:
- Persistent tooth pain or sensitivity.
- Swelling or tenderness in your gums.
- Discoloration or darkening of a tooth.
