When Is Root Canal Therapy Necessary
Within each tooth, below the enamel and dentin layers, lies the soft inner part called the pulp. The pulp consists of nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissues.
In case of infection or inflammation resulting from either deep cavities or cracked teeth, a person will experience extreme pain that may lead to abscess formation. Here are some common signs you may need a root canal:
- Swelling
- Ongoing pain
- Changes in the gums
- Tooth discoloration
- Sensitivity to hot or cold

The Benefits of Root Canal Treatment
Tooth extraction might seem like the easier route, but keeping the natural tooth through a root canal is usually the better call in the long run. The benefits of saving your natural tooth include:
- Cost-effectiveness
- Maintains natural appearance
- Preserves your natural bite
- Prevents teeth from shifting
How Root Canal Therapy Works
Root canal treatment typically takes one or two appointments to complete. Things start with digital X-rays to get a clear look at where the infection is sitting and how much it has spread. After this, we numb your mouth using local anesthetics, and then Dr. Manzur will create a small access hole to reach the inflamed pulp chamber inside the tooth. The decayed pulp will then be removed, and the insides of the tooth cleaned.
The canals will then be filled with gutta-percha and sealed so as to protect the tooth from any further infections. We will then place a temporary filling on your tooth, and in subsequent visits, we will place a dental crown to restore the tooth’s functionality.
