Root Canal Therapy / Root Canal Treatment

Root Canal Therapy, also known as Root Canal Treatment, is a procedure designed to save your tooth from severe damage caused by decay, disease, or injury.  

Root canal treatments have a high success rate, often exceeding 95%. This treatment involves removing the infected or damaged pulp from inside your tooth, cleaning and disinfecting the root canals, and then filling and sealing the space to prevent further infection. 

A root canal treatment typically ranges from 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the case's complexity. In some instances, a second appointment may be necessary to complete the procedure.

What Can I Expect for Recovery?  

Recovery from root canal therapy is generally smooth. You can expect to have mild discomfort or sensitivity for a few days following the procedure, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. Most people can return to their normal activities the day after the treatment. 

Are You Experiencing Severe Pain or Infection?  

In the case of severe pain or infection, an emergency root canal can be performed to provide immediate relief and prevent further complications.
