Treatment Guide
Root Canal Treatment
Relieve pain. Save your natural tooth.
A root canal removes infection from inside the tooth and helps you keep your natural tooth for years. With modern numbing and gentle techniques, most patients say it feels similar to getting a filling.
Signs & Symptoms
When is a root canal needed?
Tooth pain that keeps returning — especially at night or when chewing.
Sensitivity to hot/cold that lingers after the trigger is gone.
A pimple-like bump on the gums, swelling, or tenderness near the tooth.
A cracked filling, deep cavity, or trauma that irritates the nerve.
Darkening of a tooth (sometimes a sign of nerve damage).

Comfort & Safety
Will it hurt?
Most patients feel pressure — not pain — because the tooth is well numbed.
A root canal removes the infection that causes pain, so you usually feel better afterward.
Mild soreness for a day or two is common and manageable.
You can usually return to routine work the same day or next day.
Aftercare
Recovery & care at home
Avoid chewing on the treated side until the tooth is fully restored.
Brush and floss normally — gentle, consistent hygiene helps healing.
If a crown is advised, plan it soon to prevent cracks in the treated tooth.
Come for follow-up if discomfort increases instead of improving.
