What is a root canal?
A root canal is a procedure to remove infected or damaged pulp from inside a tooth. The space is then cleaned, disinfected, and sealed to prevent further infection. This treatment saves your natural tooth and helps avoid extraction.
Signs You Might Need a Root Canal
Tooth damage or decay isn’t always visible, but when infection sets in, your mouth will send warning signs. If left untreated, the problem can worsen, leading to more pain and complications. Here are some common symptoms that may indicate the need for a root canal:
- Persistent tooth pain
- Sensitivity to hot or cold
- Swollen or tender gums
- Darkening of tooth
- Pimple-like bumps on the gums


At Dental One, we prioritize efficiency and patient comfort with single-visit root canals. This means:
- Less time in the chair – No multiple appointments.
- Minimal discomfort – Advanced techniques for a smooth experience.
- Faster healing – Quicker recovery compared to traditional multi-visit treatments.
