Many people fear the idea of a root canal, but modern dentistry has made the procedure far more comfortable than ever before. Rather than removing a painful tooth, root canal therapy allows Dr. Hanam-Jahr to save it by treating the infection inside and sealing it for long-term protection. The result is a pain-free, healthy tooth that functions naturally again.

Why Root Canal Therapy Is Needed

Root canal therapy becomes necessary when bacteria reach the inner part of a tooth called the pulp. This infection often causes severe pain, swelling, or sensitivity that will not improve on its own. Without treatment, the infection can spread to surrounding bone and tissue, leading to more serious complications.

Many causes can lead to pulp infection, including deep decay, cracked teeth, or past trauma. Dr. Hanam-Jahr evaluates each case carefully using digital imaging and precision diagnostics to identify the exact source of infection. Treating it early not only saves the tooth but also prevents discomfort and future dental emergencies.

Symptoms That May Indicate a Root Canal

Recognizing the early signs of a tooth infection can help you avoid worsening pain and more complex treatment later. Common symptoms can range from mild discomfort to severe throbbing pain that interferes with daily life.

• Persistent or sharp tooth pain when chewing or biting.
• Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers.
• Swelling or tenderness near the gums.
• Discoloration or darkening of the affected tooth.
• A pimple-like bump on the gums indicating infection.

Even if pain comes and goes, an underlying infection may still be present. Dr. Hanam-Jahr recommends scheduling an evaluation right away if you notice these warning signs. Early intervention offers the best chance of saving the tooth.

The Root Canal Procedure Explained

Root canal therapy is designed to eliminate infection while preserving your natural tooth structure. Dr. Hanam-Jahr’s gentle approach ensures comfort and precision at every step, often completing treatment in a single visit.

1. The area is numbed completely to prevent discomfort.
2. A small opening is made to access the infected pulp.
3. The damaged tissue is carefully removed and the canal cleaned.
4. The area is disinfected, filled, and sealed for protection.
5. A crown is usually placed to restore strength and function.

Each step is performed with advanced equipment that ensures accuracy and efficiency. Patients often find that the procedure feels similar to getting a standard filling, with immediate relief once infection is removed.

Root Canal vs. Tooth Extraction

Both root canal therapy and tooth extraction treat severe infection, but root canals preserve your natural tooth whenever possible. The table below shows the main differences between the two options.

Dr. Hanam-Jahr always recommends the most conservative treatment possible. Saving your natural tooth helps preserve alignment, bone health, and confidence in your smile.

Benefits of Root Canal Therapy

Root canal therapy not only eliminates pain but also restores function and prevents future complications. The procedure allows you to keep your natural teeth while maintaining your oral and overall health.

• Stops infection and prevents spreading to other teeth.

After treatment, most patients experience instant relief and can return to normal activities the next day. Dr. Hanam-Jahr ensures each patient leaves with clear instructions and confidence in their recovery.

Caring for Your Tooth After Treatment

Proper aftercare helps ensure your treated tooth remains strong and healthy for years. Following a few simple steps promotes healing and longevity.

• Avoid chewing hard foods on the treated tooth for a few days.
• Continue brushing and flossing gently around the area.
