Root canal saves the tooth while extraction removes it—each has specific uses and outcomes.

Deep decay, cracked teeth, or trauma can lead to infected pulp requiring root canal.

Modern techniques make root canals virtually painless, with minimal discomfort during recovery.

Severe tooth pain, prolonged sensitivity, and gum swelling may indicate need for root canal.

Anesthesia is often used in dental surgery to ensure patient comfort and pain management.

Oral surgery addresses complex dental issues like extractions, implants, and jaw corrections.

Post-extraction, rest, avoid straws, eat soft foods, and follow dentist’s care instructions.

Before extraction, discuss medical history, follow pre-op instructions, and arrange post-op care.

Wisdom teeth should be removed if they cause pain, crowding, or infection risk.

Sealants reduce cavity risk by up to 80% in molars, offering significant protection.
