What Is Endodontic/Root Canal Treatment?

A root canal is a procedure used to treat infection or damage inside the tooth. When decay, trauma, or bacteria reach the pulp (the inner soft tissue), it can lead to:

Intense pain or pressure

Constant or throbbing pain that doesn’t go away, often worsening when biting or applying pressure.

Prolonged hot or cold sensitivity

Sharp or lingering discomfort when consuming hot coffee, cold drinks, or sweets—even after the source is removed.

Swelling or abscesses near the gum

A pimple-like bump, swelling, or pus near the affected tooth—often indicating infection deep in the root.

Tooth discoloration

A darkened or grayish tooth, which may signal trauma or infection in the inner pulp tissue.

What Happens During a Endodontic/Root Canal Treatment?

At NorCal Dental Group, we make every root canal as stress-free and painless as possible. Here’s what to expect:

We numb the area thoroughly and offer sedation options to keep you relaxed.
The infected or damaged tissue inside the tooth is removed, and the canal is cleaned and disinfected.
The empty space is filled with a biocompatible material to prevent future infection.
In most cases, a dental crown is placed over the treated tooth to restore strength, function, and appearance.

Do I Need a Root Canal?

You might need root canal therapy if you’re experiencing:

  • Severe toothache or throbbing pain

  • Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers

  • Swollen or tender gums near one tooth

  • A small pimple or abscess on the gum

  • Deep decay or a cracked tooth

  • A previously injured or traumatized tooth

If you’re unsure, schedule an evaluation. The earlier we treat it, the more of your natural tooth we can save.

Frequently Asked Questions

We have answers for you!

No. With modern numbing agents and sedation, most patients feel little to no discomfort during the procedure—often less pain than they felt before treatment.
In most cases, yes. A crown protects the tooth from breaking and restores full function, especially for back teeth under heavy chewing pressure.
Saving your natural tooth is always ideal when possible. Root canals preserve your bite, prevent bone loss, and avoid the need for tooth replacement.
Costs vary depending on the tooth and complexity. Root canals are often covered by dental insurance, and we offer flexible payment options for uninsured patients.
