How Do Root Canal Procedures Help?

A root canal is necessary when the tooth pulp becomes infected or damaged for various reasons, including deep decay, repeated dental procedures, trauma to the tooth, or a cracked or chipped tooth. The symptoms of infected or damaged pulp may include severe tooth pain, sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures, swelling, and tenderness in the gums. A root canal may seem intimidating, but it is a safe and effective way to treat damaged or infected pulp and keep your natural tooth.
