What is Root Canal Therapy?
Root canal therapy is a trusted dental treatment designed to save a tooth that’s been damaged or infected deep inside. When the soft tissue (called the pulp) inside your tooth becomes inflamed or infected—often due to decay, injury, or repeated dental work—root canal therapy gently removes the damaged tissue to stop the pain and prevent further infection. At Mickleham Dental, we focus on making this procedure as comfortable and stress-free as possible, helping you keep your natural tooth while restoring your smile and oral health.
When Might You Need Root Canal Therapy?
Root canal therapy is often recommended when the inner pulp of your tooth becomes inflamed or infected. This can happen due to deep decay, a cracked or chipped tooth, or trauma to the tooth. If left untreated, the infection can cause severe pain and may lead to an abscess.
Common signs that you might need root canal therapy include:
Persistent toothache or sharp pain when biting or chewing
Sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures that lingers
Swelling or tenderness in nearby gums
Darkening or discoloration of the tooth
A recurring pimple or bump on the gums near the affected tooth
Bad taste or unpleasant smell in the mouth
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s important to seek care promptly. At Mickleham Dental, we’re here to help diagnose the problem early and provide gentle, effective treatment to save your tooth and relieve your discomfort.
