Root Canals

What Is a Root Canal?

A root canal is a dental procedure that removes the infected or damaged pulp inside a tooth, cleans and disinfects the root canals, and then seals the tooth to prevent future infection. This treatment can save a tooth that would otherwise need to be extracted, preserving your natural smile.

At Le Dentiste, we prioritize your comfort and dental health. Our root canal treatment is a safe and effective solution to save a severely damaged or infected tooth, relieving pain and preventing further complications.

What are signs I may need a root canal?

If you have an infected tooth, you may need root canal treatment to clear out the infection. You can have infected teeth without symptoms. When you have symptoms, they may include:

Tooth pain that doesn’t go away. Lots of things make your teeth hurt. But pain that’s deep in a tooth or that spreads to your jaw, face or other teeth may mean you have an infection.
Pressure hurts. If your tooth hurts when you eat or touch it, it may mean something damaged the nerves around your tooth pulp.
Swollen gums. If you have an infected tooth, your gums may swell or feel tender.
Pimple on your gums. Infected teeth can create pimples or boils on your gums that ooze smelly pus.
Swollen jaw. Your jaw may swell from pus that doesn’t drain away from your infected tooth.
Discolored tooth. Tooth pulp infection keeps blood from getting to your tooth. That makes your tooth turn dark.
Loose tooth. Pus from infected tooth pulp can soften the bones supporting your tooth, making your tooth feel loose.

If you're experiencing severe tooth pain or suspect you may need a root canal, don’t delay in seeking treatment.
