What Is a Root Canal?
A root canal is a dental procedure that involves removing the infected dental pulp from the inside of your tooth and replacing it with a special dental filling called gutta percha to preserve the tooth and prevent the further spread of the infection.
There are a few different reasons why you might need a root canal, including dental trauma, damage to the tooth that extends to the nerve, or significant decay that reaches the nerve. The only other alternative to a root canal is the extraction of the affected tooth and replacement with a restoration, such as a bridge or dental implant. Root canals tend to be the more affordable option.
Signs You May Need a Root Canal
Keep an eye out for the following indicators that you’re in need of root canal therapy.
- Moderate to severe tooth sensitivity

- A pimple on your gum
