Root canals are tooth-saving procedures. The treatment design rids the inner tooth of infection.
Ridding the infection through pulp removal and careful cleaning of the inner tooth. Followed by
sealing of the tooth to prevent future infections. Thus preserving the tooth from a possible
extraction.
The number one sign you need a root canal is having severe tooth pain. Especially having tooth pain
when eating/biting down on food. Or having pain and sensitivity with hot or cold foods and drinks.
