Root canal therapy is a great way to save a natural tooth, prevent the need for extraction, and maintain good oral health. If you’ve been experiencing tooth pain, especially persistent or throbbing pain, it might be worth getting an evaluation for a root canal. Root canals are usually necessary when: Tooth Decay: Deep decay reaches the pulp, causing infection. Infection: Bacteria in the pulp can cause infection or abscess. Cracked or Fractured Teeth: A crack in the tooth allows bacteria to enter, affecting the pulp. Trauma: A hard knock or injury to a tooth can cause damage to the pulp even if there’s no visible crack or chip. If you’re in pain now, a root canal can give you relief from that toothache, often immediately after the procedure. The relief from pain is one of the most compelling reasons to move forward with treatment. Root canal therapy eliminates the source of infection, which typically brings immediate pain relief. Root canal treatments have a high success rate—around 85-97%—and can last many years. With proper care, the treated tooth can remain functional for the long term.
