Root Canal Treatment
A tooth infection doesn’t have to mean losing your tooth. At Restore Dental, we specialize in Root Canal Treatment (RCT) to save your natural teeth, relieve pain, and restore functionality—all while prioritizing your comfort and long-term oral health.
What is a Root Canal?
A root canal procedure is designed to treat and save a tooth affected by infection or inflammation in the pulp tissue. By carefully removing the infected pulp, disinfecting the canals, and restoring the tooth with a filling and crown, we ensure the tooth continues to function without its original nerve or blood supply.
Key Advantages of Root Canal Treatment
Preserves Your Natural Tooth – A root canal helps save your natural tooth, preventing the need for extraction. By maintaining the structure of your tooth, it ensures that your natural bite remains intact, reducing the risk of shifting teeth and bite misalignment.
Long-Term Predictability – With proper care and good oral hygiene, a root canal-treated tooth can last a lifetime. This treatment not only eliminates infection but also strengthens the tooth, making it a reliable and durable solution for long-term dental health.
Pain-Free Process – Thanks to advancements in anesthetic solutions and modern dental techniques, a root canal is now a comfortable and nearly painless experience. Most patients compare it to getting a routine filling, ensuring a stress-free and smooth procedure.

Aftercare for Root Canal-Treated Teeth
While root canal treatment effectively eliminates infection and saves your natural tooth, maintaining good oral hygiene is crucial to ensure its long-term success. Brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, flossing regularly, and using an antibacterial mouthwash can help prevent further decay and protect the treated tooth from future issues.
Additionally, regular dental check-ups and professional cleanings play a vital role in preserving the health of your restored tooth. Your dentist will monitor its condition, identify any early signs of potential problems, and provide preventive care to avoid complications. By following a consistent oral care routine and staying proactive with dental visits, you can enjoy a strong, healthy, and fully functional tooth for years to come.
