What Is a Root Canal?
A root canal is a treatment that removes infection from the inside of a tooth — often caused by deep decay, cracks, or trauma. Once the infection is cleared, the tooth is sealed and restored with a filling or crown to keep it strong and functional.
Signs you may need a root canal:
- Persistent toothache or sensitivity
- Swelling or tenderness in the gums
- Darkening of the tooth
- A pimple-like bump near the affected area
