Root Canal Treatment Issaquah, WA
Gentle, Effective Relief from Tooth Pain at Sunrise Dental of Issaquah
What Is a Root Canal?
A root canal is a procedure used to treat a tooth with infected or inflamed pulp, the soft tissue inside your tooth that contains nerves and blood vessels. This infection can be caused by deep decay, cracks, trauma, or repeated dental work.
Without treatment, the infection can spread, leading to severe pain or even tooth loss. A root canal:
- Removes the infection
- Cleans and disinfects the tooth’s interior
- Fills and seals the canal
- Preserves your natural tooth
Afterward, the tooth is typically protected with a dental crown for strength and durability.
Signs You May Need a Root Canal
Watch for these common symptoms:
- Throbbing tooth pain that won’t go away
- Sensitivity to hot or cold, even after the source is removed
- Swollen or tender gums near the affected tooth
- Discoloration or darkening of the tooth
- A pimple-like bump on the gum
If you notice any of these, schedule an evaluation right away to prevent complications.
