A root canal treatment is one of the best ways to save a tooth that's badly damaged or infected. This procedure cleans, disinfects, and fixes the tooth—stopping pain while keeping your natural smile. At Northlane Dental, we take a gentle and modern approach to make sure you're comfortable from beginning to end.

What Is a Root Canal Treatment?

A root canal is a procedure doctors use when the inner part of the tooth called the pulp, gets infected because of deep decay, cracks, injury, or too much dental work. The treatment has a simple goal: to get rid of the infection, stop the pain, and save the tooth.

Signs You Might Need a Root Canal

Here are some signs to watch out for:

• Ongoing tooth pain

• Discomfort from hot or cold things

• Puffy or sore gums

• Tooth turning darker

• Hurting when you bite or chew

Seeing a dentist on can stop the infection from getting worse.

What to Expect During Treatment

At Northlane Dental, we make sure you're comfortable throughout the process:

1. Examination & X-rays – We check your tooth to see how bad the infection is.

2. Local Anaesthesia – We numb your tooth and the area around it .

3. Cleaning the Infection – We take out the infected pulp then clean and shape the inside of your tooth.

4. Sealing the Tooth – We fill the canal with a safe material to stop the infection from coming back.

5. Crown Placement – We put on a custom-made crown to make the treated tooth stronger and to protect it.

This fixes your tooth's structure and how it works, so you can chew without pain again.

Today's methods make root canal treatment much more bearable than most folks think.

Aftercare and Recovery

You might feel slight tenderness for a day or two after the procedure, but this is typical and easy to handle with suggested pain relief. Keeping up good mouth care—including brushing, flossing, and regular visits—helps your fixed tooth stay healthy for a long time.
