Relief for Tooth Pain and Infected Teeth
When a tooth becomes infected, inflamed, or severely painful, root canal treatment may help save your natural tooth and prevent the need for extraction. At Campus Dentist, we provide gentle root canal treatment to relieve pain, remove infection, and restore your oral health.
A root canal is a procedure used to treat infection inside a tooth. When the inner pulp becomes inflamed or infected due to decay, cracks, or injury, root canal therapy removes the infection and preserves the natural tooth.
During a root canal procedure, the infected tissue is carefully removed, the inside of the tooth is cleaned and sealed, and the tooth is restored to maintain strength and function. Root canal treatment can help:
Saving the natural tooth is usually the preferred option whenever possible.
You may need root canal treatment if the inside of your tooth becomes infected or damaged. Common signs include:
Severe or lingering tooth pain
Sensitivity to hot or cold
Swelling around the gums
Pain when chewing
A cracked or damaged tooth
Darkening of the tooth
A deep cavity or infection
Our dentist will examine your tooth and recommend the best treatment option to help protect your oral health.
