When decay or injury reaches the nerve inside a tooth, a root canal removes the infection, relieves the pain, and saves the tooth โ letting you keep your natural tooth rather than lose it.
Inside each tooth is a soft core of nerve and blood vessels. If it becomes infected โ through deep decay, a crack or injury โ it can cause severe pain and abscesses. A root canal removes the infected tissue, cleans and seals the inside of the tooth, and preserves it.
Modern root canal treatment is far more comfortable than its reputation suggests โ with local anaesthetic, most patients find it similar to having a filling. Afterwards, the tooth is often protected with a crown for long-term strength.
