Severe tooth decay
A root canal is often necessary when tooth decay reaches the pulp chamber, causing infection and inflammation that can lead to severe pain and tooth loss if left untreated.
Damaged tooth
A root canal can save a tooth that has suffered significant damage, such as a deep crack or fracture, by removing the affected pulp and restoring the tooth’s structure and function.
Abscess formation
An abscess is a pocket of pus that forms due to a bacterial infection; With a root canal you can eliminate the infection and help prevent the spread of bacteria to surrounding tissues and bone.
Repeated dental procedures
Teeth that have undergone multiple dental procedures, such as fillings or crowns, may eventually require a root canal to address recurring issues or treat an infected pulp.
