What Is Root Canal Therapy?

Root Canal Therapy is a restorative procedure that removes infected or damaged pulp from inside a tooth. After the inner space is disinfected and sealed, the tooth is rebuilt with a high-quality filling or a crown. This approach stops pain, eliminates bacterial spread, and helps you keep your natural tooth rather than extracting it.

Signs You May Need Endodontic Care

Watch for symptoms that suggest a deep infection:

severe toothache, especially when chewing or biting
lingering sensitivity to hot or cold
swollen or tender gums near one tooth
darkening or discoloration of a tooth
a small pimple-like bump (possible abscess) on the gums

If these signs appear, schedule an evaluation promptly—early diagnosis prevents complications and shortens recovery.

Benefits of Treatment

Pain relief: targets the source of discomfort and calms inflammation.
Saves your natural tooth: maintains alignment and bite strength.
Restores function: you can chew and speak comfortably again.
Stops infection: helps protect surrounding teeth and gum tissue.
Durable results: final restoration (often a crown) reinforces strength and longevity.

Procedure: Step by Step

Diagnosis & Imaging — Dr. Oliveira performs a detailed exam and takes digital x-rays or 3D scans to map the internal anatomy.
Comfort First — Local anesthesia is used to keep the visit comfortable; options are discussed if you have dental anxiety.
Cleaning the Canal — Infected pulp is removed and the inner space is shaped and disinfected for a precise seal.
Sealing the Tooth — The canal system is filled with a biocompatible material to block reinfection.
Final Restoration — A crown or filling restores strength, function, and appearance, blending naturally with your smile.

Recovery and Aftercare

Most patients return to normal activities the same day. Mild tenderness is common for a day or two and can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relief. To protect your tooth while healing: chew on the opposite side until the final crown is placed, brush gently with a soft brush, and keep up with flossing. Regular check-ups and professional cleanings help maintain long-term success.

Saving the Tooth vs. Extraction

Preserving the tooth typically supports a healthier bite, prevents neighboring teeth from shifting, and avoids the cost and time of replacement. Extraction removes the problem tooth but often requires an implant or bridge to restore chewing and prevent bone loss. When feasible, keeping your natural tooth delivers a stable, long-lasting result.
