Save a Tooth with Root Canal Therapy

Dental pulp is a soft tissue inside the tooth that contains nerves and blood vessels. When this part of the tooth has been damaged, the pain can be unbearable and sensitivity may increase. In addition to pain and swelling, an abscess may form inside the tooth or around the gum. Because these symptoms can increase a person’s risk of infection, one of our doctors at Downtown Dental LLC may suggest a root canal.


The term root canal can sound terrifying but the purpose of the procedure is to clean the tooth root to save it from further damage. When the root canal is cleaned, the dental pulp is removed and all of the canals are sealed to prevent bacteria from entering. Depending on the condition of the patient, a root canal is typically completed in one or two visits to the office. To determine whether or not a tooth needs a root canal, the dentist will take X-rays and properly deliver a diagnosis.
