When Do You Need a Root Canal?
A root canal becomes necessary when the soft tissue inside your tooth — the pulp — becomes infected or inflamed. This can happen due to:
- Deep decay or large cavities
- Cracks or chips in the tooth
- Repeated dental procedures on the same tooth
- Trauma or injury to the mouth
If left untreated, the infection can spread, leading to severe pain, abscesses, and even tooth loss. Root canals remove the infection, disinfect the area, and seal the tooth to prevent further damage.
Our Root Canal Process: What to Expect
At Advanced Dental, your comfort is our top priority. We begin by examining the tooth using digital imaging and CBCT technology for precise diagnostics. If a root canal is recommended, here’s what you can expect:
- Local anesthesia is used to numb the tooth and surrounding area.
- A small opening is made in the crown of the tooth to access the infected pulp.
- The pulp is removed, and the canals are cleaned, shaped, and disinfected.
- The space is filled with a biocompatible material and sealed.
- A dental crown is usually placed to restore strength and function to the tooth.
In many cases, we can complete the procedure in a single visit.

Frequently Asked Questions About Root Canals
- Is a root canal painful?: No. Most patients report that the procedure feels similar to getting a filling. We use local anesthesia to ensure a comfortable experience.
- How do I know if I need a root canal?: Common symptoms include tooth pain, prolonged sensitivity to temperature, swelling, and darkening of the tooth. A dental exam and X-ray will confirm the need for treatment.
- What happens if I delay or avoid a root canal?: Delaying treatment can lead to worsening infection, severe pain, and ultimately the loss of the tooth. In some cases, the infection can spread to other parts of the body.
- How long does a root canal take?: Most root canals can be completed in about 60–90 minutes. Complex cases may require a follow-up appointment.
- Do I need a crown after a root canal?: In most cases, yes. A crown protects the treated tooth from future fractures and restores full function.
