What Is A Root Canal?

Root canals are generally needed when you have an infected tooth with a diseased nerve. The nerve in a tooth is not vitally important to the tooth’s health — its function is only sensory: providing sensations of hot or cold in the tooth. Treating your infected tooth now is important for your overall health and your healthy smile!

In the past, teeth that had infected or diseased nerves more often than not, needed to be removed. These days, thanks to advances in dentistry, dentists are able to use root canal therapy in order to save teeth that are diseased or infected. If your experiencing a severe toothache, pain from hot or cold liquids or swelling in the gums and mouth, you may need root canal therapy. West Chester PA dental practice has over 30 years of experience with issues such as root canal procedures.

Everything You Need to Know About Root Canals

Patients often have questions about Inlays & Onlays—from how long they last to how they differ from fillings. We’re here to make it clear and simple.
Is a root canal painful?
Not with modern techniques! Root Canals are performed under local anesthesia, making the procedure virtually pain-free. Most patients say it feels similar to getting a filling.
Common signs include severe toothache, prolonged sensitivity, swelling, or a darkened tooth. Your dentist can confirm with an exam and X-rays.
Most Root Canals take 60–90 minutes. Complex cases may need two visits if additional cleaning or restoration is required.
Your tooth may feel slightly sensitive for a few days. Most patients return to normal activities immediately and complete the treatment with a crown for full strength.
With proper care, a Root Canal can last a lifetime. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups keep the restored tooth healthy.
Rarely, but possible if bacteria re-enter the tooth. Retreatment is available and often successful at saving the tooth again.
