What Is Root Canal Therapy?
Root canal therapy is a specialized dental procedure designed to save a severely infected or damaged tooth. During the treatment, the infected pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth) is removed, the inner chamber is cleaned and disinfected, and the tooth is sealed to prevent further infection. Contrary to common myths, modern root canal therapy is painless, safe, and highly effective in preserving natural teeth.

Signs You May Need a Root Canal
- Persistent tooth pain (especially when chewing or applying pressure).
- Swollen gums or a pimple-like bump on the gums.
- Sensitivity to hot and cold foods and drinks.
- Discoloration or darkening of the tooth.
- Pain that worsens at night or lingers after eating.
Ignoring these symptoms can lead to worsening infection, tooth loss, and more serious health issues.
Aftercare Tips for a Healthy Recovery
- Avoid chewing on the treated tooth until fully restored.
- Take prescribed pain relievers or over-the-counter medications if needed.
- Maintain good oral hygiene with gentle brushing and flossing.
- Visit your dentist for follow-up care and a permanent dental crown if necessary.
- Avoid hard or sticky foods that could damage the restored tooth.
