A persistent toothache, lingering sensitivity, or pain when biting can be a sign that the inside of a tooth needs attention. Root canal therapy is a tooth-saving treatment used when the pulp of the soft tissue containing nerves and blood vessels inside a tooth becomes inflamed or infected.
The goal is to remove the source of infection.
Preserve your natural tooth whenever possible.
Restore comfortable function.

After carefully numbing the area, Dr. Arora creates an opening in the tooth to access the affected pulp. The diseased tissue is removed, and the root canals are thoroughly cleaned and shaped before being sealed with a specialized filling material.
After treatment, the tooth may need a crown or another restoration depending on how much healthy structure remains. This helps restore the tooth's function and provides additional protection against future damage.
