Root canal therapy is a procedure designed to save a tooth that has a severe infection or decay deep within its root. When a tooth becomes infected, it can cause intense pain and sensitivity, making everyday activities difficult. Root canal treatment is a solution that can relieve this pain and restore the health of your tooth.

During a root canal procedure, the dentist removes the infected pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth) and cleans the inside of the tooth thoroughly. This process helps to eliminate bacteria and prevent the infection from spreading further. After cleaning, the tooth is sealed and often capped with a crown to protect and strengthen it.

At Bay Wellesley Dental, we understand that the thought of a root canal can be daunting. However, our skilled team is experienced in performing this procedure with precision and care. We use modern techniques and anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the treatment. Our goal is to alleviate your pain and help you return to your normal daily activities without discomfort.

Root canal therapy not only relieves pain but also allows you to keep your natural tooth, which is important for maintaining proper chewing function and preserving jawbone structure. If you’re experiencing severe tooth pain or sensitivity, it could be a sign of infection that may require root canal treatment.
