Root canal treatment removes infection from inside the tooth and helps save the natural tooth. A crown may be advised later to protect the tooth from fracture.
When to consider it

Common questions
How do I know if I need a root canal?
Severe tooth pain, lingering sensitivity, swelling, deep decay or pain while chewing may indicate infection inside the tooth. An examination and X-ray help confirm the need.
Will a root canal save my tooth?
In many cases, root canal treatment can save the natural tooth by cleaning the infection and sealing the canals. A crown may be advised later to protect the tooth from fracture.
Is root canal treatment painful?
The tooth is numbed before treatment. You may feel pressure or mild soreness afterwards, but the aim is to relieve infection-related pain and preserve the tooth.
