Root canals have gained a negative reputation due to outdated information and misconceptions surrounding the procedure. However, they are actually highly beneficial for dental health. Below is more information on root canals and how they can improve your oral well-being.


Eliminating Infection

When patients require root canal therapy, it is typically because decay has reached the inner part of the tooth, leading to inflammation and infection. A root canal not only alleviates the pain but also removes the infected tooth pulp, preventing the spread of infection and potential health issues. Following the removal of the affected pulp, the area is disinfected and the tooth is sealed, restoring it to its original state.


Preserving the Tooth

Root canals not only help in eradicating infections but also in preserving the natural tooth. While there are various advanced restorative procedures available today, saving the natural tooth is usually preferred. This approach is safer, more cost-effective in the long term, and better for maintaining the integrity of your smile and jaw bone in the future.
