What Is a Root Canal?

A root canal is a dental procedure designed to treat infection or damage inside a tooth. When the pulp (the soft tissue inside your tooth) becomes inflamed or infected due to deep decay, cracks, or trauma, a root canal can remove the infection, relieve pain, and save your natural tooth.

Signs You Might Need a Root Canal

If you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms, you may need a root canal:
Severe toothache or pain when chewing
Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers
Swelling or tenderness in the gums
Darkening or discoloration of the tooth
A persistent pimple or abscess on the gums

Ignoring these symptoms can lead to further infection or tooth loss. Early treatment is key to preserving your oral health.

The Root Canal Procedure

At Brightside Dental Care, we use advanced techniques to ensure your root canal treatment is as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Here’s what you can expect:

Consultation and X-rays
During your initial visit, we’ll assess your tooth using X-rays to determine the extent of the damage or infection.

Numbing and Preparation
We’ll numb the area with a local anesthetic, so you remain comfortable throughout the procedure.

Removing the Infection
The dentist will carefully remove the infected pulp, clean the root canals, and shape them to prepare for sealing.

Sealing the Tooth
The cleaned canals are filled with a biocompatible material and sealed to prevent future infections.

Restoration
In most cases, a crown is placed on the treated tooth to restore its strength and appearance.

Modern root canal treatment is no more painful than getting a filling. With local anesthesia and our gentle approach, most patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure.

The procedure typically takes 1–2 hours, depending on the complexity of the case. In some cases, a second visit may be needed.

After the procedure, you may experience mild sensitivity, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. It’s important to follow your dentist’s aftercare instructions and schedule a follow-up to place a crown if needed.

With proper care, a tooth that has undergone root canal treatment can last a lifetime. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene are essential.
