Root Canal Treatment: Relieve Pain and Save Your Natural Tooth

Reviewed by Dr. Purvi Patel, BDS, MDS (Conservative Dentistry & Endodontics)

What Is a Root Canal Treatment?

When the pulp inside a tooth — the soft tissue containing nerves and blood vessels — becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, a crack, or trauma, a root canal treatment removes the infected pulp, cleans and disinfects the canal, and seals it to prevent further infection. This allows the natural tooth to be preserved rather than extracted. At nuFace, root canal treatment is assessed and overseen by Dr. Purvi Patel, who evaluates each case individually.

Root canal treatment addresses the underlying cause of tooth pain from infection, and depending on the complexity of the case, can often be completed in one to two visits.

Benefits of Root Canal Treatment

Pain relief: Removing the infected pulp addresses the source of the pain, and most patients experience significant relief once treatment is complete.
Preserves your natural tooth: Root canal treatment allows you to keep your natural tooth rather than having it extracted, helping maintain your natural bite and jaw structure.
Improved comfort with modern techniques: With current anesthesia and instrumentation, the procedure is generally comparable in comfort to having a filling placed.
Efficient treatment: Depending on case complexity, root canal treatment can often be completed in one to two visits.

Why Choose nuFace for Your Root Canal Treatment

Who Needs a Root Canal?

Root canal treatment is typically recommended when the pulp inside a tooth becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, a cracked tooth, or repeated dental procedures on the same tooth. Common signs include persistent tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling, or discoloration, though some infections may not cause noticeable symptoms.

Dr. Purvi Patel will examine the tooth, which may include an X-ray, to determine whether root canal treatment or another option is most appropriate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a root canal painful?
Performed under local anesthesia, most patients report an experience similar to having a filling. Mild soreness afterward can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relief.

How many visits does it take?
This depends on case complexity; many root canals can be completed in one to two visits.

What happens after treatment?
The tooth typically needs a crown or filling to restore strength and appearance, which will be discussed as part of your treatment plan.

Is extraction a better option?
Preserving your natural tooth is generally preferred when possible, as it helps maintain your natural bite and jaw structure. Dr. Purvi Patel can help you weigh the options for your case.

How long does a treated tooth last?
With proper restoration and dental care, a root canal-treated tooth can last for many years, though individual results vary.
