A root canal is a dental procedure used to treat an infected or damaged tooth. The procedure involves removing the infected or inflamed pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth) and cleaning the root canal system. Afterward, the tooth is sealed and restored with a crown to protect it from further damage. Root canals are often necessary when a tooth becomes deeply decayed or cracked or when there is significant infection in the pulp.

You may need a root canal if you experience severe tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling, or tenderness in the gums. A visit to the dentist will determine if a root canal is necessary.
Root canal treatment typically takes one to two hours, depending on the complexity of the case. Some patients may require multiple visits.
With proper care, a tooth treated with a root canal can last many years, even a lifetime. It is important to maintain good oral hygiene and visit your dentist for regular checkups.
In most cases, a crown is recommended to restore the tooth's strength and function after a root canal, especially for back teeth. Crowns help protect the tooth from further damage and prevent it from breaking.
