What is Root Canal Therapy?

Root canal therapy is a treatment option that removes infection or decay from inside an affected tooth. The most common reasons for a tooth becoming compromised and requiring a root canal is due to an untreated crack or fracture, a deep cavity, or an injury to the tooth. To save the tooth from extraction, the pulp (the living tissue inside the tooth), nerves, bacteria and any decay are removed, and the resulting space is filled with special medicated dental materials. This restores the tooth to its full function. An injured tooth that is left untreated can lead to extreme pain, a dental abscess, or possible tooth loss, so it is important to seek treatment as quickly as possible.

Root canal therapy is the treatment of choice to save a tooth that otherwise would die and require removal. While many patients believe that removing a problematic tooth is the only solution, that is not always the case. Extracting (or “pulling”) a tooth will often be more costly and can cause significant issues for adjacent teeth. Root canal therapy is a highly successful and effective treatment option that typically lasts a lifetime, although it is possible that a tooth will have to be re-treated due to new infections.
