What is a Root Canal?
Root canal treatment removes inflamed or infected tissue inside the tooth, disinfects and seals the canals, and restores the tooth so you can bite comfortably again.

Know What to Look For in a Dental Cleaning
A quality dental cleaning should be more than a quick polish. Here's what defines a good treatment:
Comprehensive Oral Examination
Not just a cleaning — your dentist should assess your gums, teeth, and oral hygiene before starting.
Gentle, Thorough Scaling
Plaque and tartar should be removed carefully using both ultrasonic and hand instruments, not rushed or overly aggressive.
Polishing with Purpose
Be cautious if polishing is done only with a rubber cup — that’s typically used for children. Adult stains often require airflow polishing (ProphyJet) for effective stain removal. Ask if this option is available.
Cleaning Done by a Dentist vs. Hygienist
When done by a dentist, you're getting care from someone trained to identify and treat overall oral health issues — not just polish teeth. This includes spotting early decay, bite problems, or gum disease.
Charting & Documentation
Are they recording your gum health, pocket depths, or plaque levels? Proper charting helps track progress and detect issues early.
Before & After Visibility
Can you see the difference? A quality clinic will often show you before-and-after images — especially when using high-magnification or intraoral cameras — so you're not just told, but shown what’s been cleaned.

When do you need it?
You may need a root canal treatment if you experience persistent toothache or pain when biting, lingering sensitivity to hot or cold foods, or have deep decay or a crack that extends near the tooth’s nerve. Other signs include gum swelling or the presence of a small “pimple” on the gum, which may indicate an underlying infection.
