What Is a Root Canal?

A root canal is a treatment used when the inside of a tooth (the pulp) becomes infected or inflamed. During treatment, the infected tissue is removed, the inside of the tooth is cleaned and sealed, and the tooth is restored so you can bite comfortably again.

Root canal therapy is commonly recommended to:

• Remove infection and reduce pain
• Save a tooth that might otherwise need extraction
• Prevent the infection from spreading
• Restore normal chewing function

Signs You May Need a Root Canal

Not every toothache means you need a root canal, but these symptoms are common warning signs:

• Persistent tooth pain or pressure
• Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers
• Pain when chewing or biting
• Swelling near the tooth or gumline
• A pimple-like bump on the gums
• Darkening or discoloration of a tooth
• A cracked tooth with deep discomfort

If you’re experiencing swelling, severe pain, or fever, call 702.228.2218 right away.

What Causes a Tooth Infection?

Infections inside a tooth can happen when bacteria reach the inner tissue, often due to:

• Deep decay
• A cracked or broken tooth
• Trauma to the tooth
• A failing filling or crown
• Repeated dental work on the same tooth

The goal is to address the infection early so the tooth can be stabilized.

What to Expect During Root Canal Treatment

We keep treatment straightforward and focused on relief.

1) Exam and Imaging

We evaluate the tooth and, when needed, take dental X-rays to confirm the source of pain and plan treatment accurately.

2) Numbing and Comfort

Local anesthetic is used to keep you comfortable during treatment.

3) Removing Infection

The infected tissue is removed from inside the tooth, and the canals are cleaned.

4) Sealing the Tooth

The tooth is sealed to help prevent reinfection.

5) Restoring the Tooth

In many cases, a dental crown is recommended after a root canal to protect the tooth from cracking and restore full chewing strength.

Root Canal vs. Extraction

A root canal is often recommended when a tooth can be saved. Keeping your natural tooth helps maintain bite balance and prevents shifting. In some cases, extraction may be the better option—if so, we’ll explain why and discuss replacement options like dental implants or dental bridges.
