A root canal is a specialized dental procedure designed to treat infected or severely decayed teeth while preserving their natural structure. When the inner pulp of a tooth becomes infected due to deep decay, cracks, or trauma, it can cause severe pain and lead to further complications if left untreated. A root canal treatment removes the infected pulp, cleans the inner chambers of the tooth, and seals it to prevent reinfection. At Uptown Skin & Dental Clinic, we use advanced techniques and modern technology to ensure that root canal treatments are as comfortable and pain-free as possible. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, making it a safe and effective solution for saving damaged teeth without the need for extraction. After a root canal, a dental crown is often placed over the treated tooth to restore its strength and functionality.

Root canal therapy not only relieves pain and discomfort but also helps maintain oral health by preventing the spread of infection. If you are experiencing severe tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, or swelling around the gums, it may be a sign that you need a root canal. Our experienced dental team at Uptown Skin & Dental Clinic is dedicated to providing expert care to restore your oral health and keep your smile strong and healthy.
