Root canal therapy can relieve pain, stop infection, and help you keep your original tooth instead of replacing it. Unlike extraction, it preserves your bite, your appearance, and your long-term dental health.

If you're experiencing discomfort, talk to your dentist to see if a root canal is the right solution. It can help you feel better and keep smiling with confidence! https://www.aae.org/patients/root-canal-treatment/what-is-a-root-canal/benefits-root-canal-treatment

The work they do takes place inside the roots of the tooth, so they need dental microscopes to see clearly and treat you precisely. 🔬 Fun fact: "endo" actually means "inside."

Not every severely infected or damaged tooth can be saved with a root canal. In some cases, extraction is the safest option to protect your overall oral health and prevent more serious complications.

Tooth removal may be recommended for severe decay, fractures, gum disease, or failed prior treatments. After an extraction, your dentist can help you explore replacement options like dental implants, bridges, or partial dentures to restore function and appearance.

Do you need a crown after a root canal?

It’s a common question, and the answer depends on the tooth’s location and condition.

A root canal removes infected pulp and saves your natural tooth, but it does not always restore full strength. A crown can help protect the tooth, improve durability, and restore appearance, especially for back teeth that handle more chewing pressure.

In some cases, a crown may not be needed for front teeth with minimal damage. However, if a tooth has had multiple restorations including the root canal, it will likely need a crown to maintain function and appearance.
