What Is Root Canal Therapy?

Root canal therapy is a restorative dental procedure used to treat infections or inflammation within the pulp (nerve tissue) of a tooth. Rather than extracting the damaged tooth, this procedure removes the infected tissue, disinfects the inner chamber, and seals the tooth to prevent future complications. The goal is to preserve your natural tooth structure and eliminate pain.

Common Symptoms You May Need a Root Canal

You might need a root canal if you’re experiencing:

• Severe, lingering toothache
• Sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures
• Swelling or tenderness in the gums
• A visible abscess or pimple on the gums
• Discoloration of the tooth

Ignoring these symptoms could lead to worsening infection or tooth loss. If you're experiencing any of these signs, schedule an appointment right away.

The Root Canal Process at Aglow Dental Studio

Dr. Rosemary Ahanor, DDS, uses the latest dental technology—including digital X-rays and intraoral cameras—to ensure accurate diagnosis and gentle treatment.

Here’s what to expect during your visit:

1. Diagnosis & Imaging
   We begin with a thorough examination and 3D imaging to identify the infection source.
2. Comfortable Anesthesia
   Local anesthetic is applied to ensure a completely pain-free procedure.
3. Pulp Removal & Cleaning
   Infected tissue is carefully removed, and the root canals are cleaned and shaped.
4. Sealing the Tooth
   The inner chamber is filled with biocompatible material and sealed to prevent reinfection.
