Root Canal Treatment at Dental Care Clinic
At Dental Care Clinic, we understand the importance of saving your natural teeth whenever possible.

What Is Root Canal Treatment?
A root canal is a dental procedure that treats infection or damage inside the tooth’s pulp. The pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels, can become infected due to deep decay, cracks, or trauma.
During a root canal:
- The infected or damaged pulp is removed.
- The inside of the tooth is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected.
- The space is filled and sealed to prevent further infection.
Signs You May Need a Root Canal
- Persistent tooth pain or sensitivity.
- Pain when chewing or biting.
- Swelling or tenderness in the gums.
- Darkening or discoloration of the tooth.
- Pimples or abscesses on the gums.
If you experience any of these symptoms, schedule a consultation with us right away. Early treatment can prevent the spread of infection and save your tooth.
