Root Canal – Dr. Negar Mazhari

What is Root Canal?

A Root Canal is a restorative dental procedure used to treat infection or damage in the pulp of a tooth — the soft tissue inside the tooth that contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. When the pulp becomes infected due to decay, trauma, or repeated dental work, a root canal is necessary to save the tooth and prevent further complications.

This treatment is designed to eliminate infection, relieve pain, and restore the tooth's function, allowing you to keep your natural tooth instead of opting for an extraction.

Signs You May Need a Root Canal:

Severe tooth pain, especially when chewing or applying pressure
Persistent tooth sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures
Swelling or tenderness around the affected tooth
Darkening of the tooth
Recurring pimples on the gums (abscess)

The Root Canal Procedure:

Initial Consultation – We will assess the extent of the infection or damage with X-rays and a detailed examination.
Local Anesthesia – The area around the affected tooth will be numbed to ensure you’re comfortable.
Removal of Infection – The infected pulp is removed from the root canal, and the space is thoroughly cleaned.
Filling the Canal – The space is then sealed with a biocompatible material to prevent further infection.
Restoration – After the root canal, the tooth will typically require a crown to protect it from damage and restore its function.

Benefits of Root Canal Treatment:

Saves Your Natural Tooth – Prevents the need for extraction
Relieves Pain – Treatment eliminates the infection and alleviates discomfort
Restores Function – The treated tooth can be restored with a crown, ensuring proper chewing and speaking function
Long-Lasting Solution – With proper care, a treated tooth can last for many years

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Root canal treatment is often associated with pain due to the infection, but the procedure itself is typically painless. We use local anesthesia to numb the area, and most patients feel little to no discomfort during the treatment. In fact, many report feeling immediate relief from the pain once the infection is removed.

Most root canal procedures take 1–2 hours and are typically completed in a single visit. In some cases, more complex infections may require a follow-up appointment.

If left untreated, an infected tooth can lead to severe pain, abscesses, and even tooth loss. The infection can spread to surrounding tissues and bone, causing further complications. A root canal is a safe and effective way to prevent these issues.

Yes! After the root canal, your tooth will be restored with a crown that is custom-made to match the shape and color of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless and natural appearance.
